Good Morning,
I’m seriously considering the “Apache” hybrid of "Firethorn for a small area in my landscape, but I have a few questions.
First, I also have a deer problem. Is the Apache deer resistant?
Second, I would prefer no berries, is there a male variety that doesn’t have any berries?
Lastly, I live in zone 8, Medford. Ranges from -10 (sometimes a bit colder) to 105+ degrees. Is Apache good in this range?
If you can think of another plant that might be better suited for all my wishes please give me suggestions. I’m trying to protect one small area on my outer fence from intruders. I’ve thought of Bayberry, Crown of Thorns, and others, nothing seems to answer all my wishes.
Thanks,
Ron Marler
