Laura M on Mar 29, 2012this looks like maybe a dwarf huckleberry bush. at first the leaves reminded me of a gardenia leaf, but I just started looking at small bushes that berry once in awhile, and run across certain leaf patterns and compaired a few. this is what I came up with. I hope it helps.Helpful Reply

Judy W on Mar 29, 2012If it's a pyracantha, be glad you have it in a pot. I planted one in my yard but it went crazy. I eventually got rid of it. The berries were pretty though!Helpful Reply

Rebecca W on Mar 29, 2012Looks like a bush, not a tree. I think if you want it to get bigger you need to get it out of that pot. Its either a bayberry or pyracantha.Helpful Reply

Carolyn S on Mar 29, 2012We call that wild olive. It has tiny white blooms and then small berries. It can be invasive. Leave it in the pot!Helpful Reply

Deborah C on Mar 29, 2012Pyracantha coccinea are evergreen,and do not die back in the winter. However P. koidzumii are evergreen to semi-evergreen, they are not as hardy, zone 8-10. Birds enjoy the berries during the fall and winter. Weigela does not produce berries. Flowering Quince produces small apple like fruit, has thorns and some cultivars have white blooms. They are deciduous woody plants. How big is the container and has the plant been in the same one all this time? My old eyes can not see the foliage good enough to make a proper guess as to the ID of this plant.Helpful Reply

Susan S on Mar 29, 2012The first thing that came to mind when I saw your picture was "Crown of Thorns" aka Pyracantha!! I'm in agreement w/Judy W. Shirley J. &Diane B. on that. The berries that Evelyn R. shows look like Pyracantha - kind of a bright orangish-red. My Mom & Dad had one planted beside the chimney and it was HUmongous so I'd either repot it and give it a little more room or put it outside where it'll have lots of room but not close to your house or any other trees or shrubs. Keep it pruned or it will take over.Helpful Reply

Barbara L on Mar 30, 2012I have to agree, Pyracantha ,I have one and it grows fast [down south].Helpful Reply

Rosemary S on Mar 30, 2012If Pyracantha the white flowers should have turned into bright reddish-orange very showy berries on a long clustered branch. I used in my fall floral arrangement-magnificant, and my Bassett hound ate them as they dropped of bush-non-toxic as far as I know. Here in our area,Northern calif, been berries since Nov-very showy against fence/snow etc. Horrible to prune, they do grow kind of wild and spreading if in ground.Helpful Reply

Evelyn R on Mar 30, 2012Oh yes Marvin, you're going to have to wait for the berries! Don't forget to post it then. :)Helpful Reply

Jeanealchick on Mar 07, 2016Golden Barberry. A possibility if it has thrones on old growth.Helpful Reply

Margie Cook on May 19, 2016Pyracantha has thorns. It is evergreen. Great for Espalier pruning. You would know if that was the plant. Can't imagine why it was in a pot for so long. So doubt it is that.Many from Ilex family are diciduous and have berries.Helpful Reply

Deltamom on May 19, 2016if berries are blue, it could be a blueberry bush. if red, it could be a holly. some hollies are evergreen and some lose their leaves. also, it could be a pyracantha from the branch structure of the limbs.Helpful Reply
