Pyracantha coccinea

This evergreen thorny shrub grows in countries of southern Europe and western Asia
not only in the wild but also in gardens and hedges in urban areas.
 
Beware of the thorns!

Pyracantha’s (fruit-) berries are bitter and astringent.
They may look like big tomatoes in this closeup picture
but they are actually only 6-7 mm wide.
