The scarlet firethorn is the European species of firethorn, cultivated in gardens since the late 16th century. The shrubby tree has small white flowers followed by small, bright red berries in Autumn. The fruit is bitter and astringent, making it inedible when raw. The fruit can be cooked to make jellies, jams, sauces and marmalade. It ranges from southern Europe to western Asia. Excellent as a hedging species with year round interest. Cold and drought hardy.
