Asia, the Himalayas, China, and Taiwan. They are cultivated for their foliage, flowers, and, in particular, fruit: the variably shaped leaves are alternate and often have toothed margins; the 5-petalled white flowers are hawthorn-like and borne in compound corymbs; the showy, spherical berries that follow them in autumn are yellow, orange, or red. Grow firethorns as free-standing shrubs in a shrub border, or against a wall, or for hedging. The seeds may cause mild stomach upset if ingested.
