Certified ExpertA.This is a common infection with Pyracantha shrubs. Oddly enough, it shares a similar name with the Firethorn Shrub. It is called Fire Blight.

May 28, 2021Q.Watering Frequency For New Plant
Hi I have planted 3 firethorn plants (all three colour berries) in my garden. The ground is very dry due to the lack of rain in north wales thia week. They are 50cm/60cm height. I watered them in well on Sunday 24th. The groind was very dry around them by today so i have given them around 3 quarters of a litre each this evening. Im just wondering how often i should be watering and how much. The advice given is that they are hardy and dont need much water but am unsure whether they actually do need water more when in the process of establishing. Thank you Gareth

Lincoln UKQ.My 13 Year Old Pyracantha Suddenly Looks Like It Is Dying. All Of The Leaves Are Brown And Curling. What Can I Do Please.
It is possible that weed killer has been applied (not by me) next to a path which is next to the pyracantha - could this cause the damage?

Certified ExpertA.This could, certainly, be the culprit. It could resemble fire blight, but this doesn't seem likely with the speed of progression. Here are some articles that will help:
