In Central VA, although it might not be native. The tree has several clumps of reddish-orange berries.
Edit: Looks like pyracantha coccinea (Wikpedia). Thanks for everyone's input.
I don’t know the type of tree, but that kind of “flat” growing can be accomplished with any tree! It’s a method called espalier and is commonly used on fruit trees. You can even grow a living fence with this method. Growing the trees apart and then splicing the branches together.
Today I Learned, thanks for the info!
I would think pyracantha, based even on the post title alone. The picture only makes me more certain.
Then again, I am not familiar with some of the other plants suggested in the bot post.
I’ll second pyracantha. This photo doesn’t contain many ID features though, so there remains some uncertainty. However, the bot failing to ID is expected for such a distant photo.
Is it possible to post multiple images as an album? I took several photos, including some up close, but when I made the post I could only figure out how to post a single image.
I believe you can add additional images in the description.
Yup, I've settled on pyracantha. Thanks for chiming in!
