Firethorn

two questions
Can they be formed into a stand-alone bush ? they seem great going up things but could they be formed into a 10' diameter stand alone bush.
How easy are they to move ? I would like to move this one rather than get rid of it, but what would the chances of it surviving be if I moved it now ?, it only has another week left here.

Pyracantha is classed as a 'wall' shrub because it is ideal for growing against a wall or trellis.
If you need to move your shrub take it out of the ground with as big a root ball as you can manage and cut the shrub back by about 50% to lessen moisture loss and to counteract any loss of roots as it is dug out.
