Scarlet Firethorn (Pyracantha coccinea), Rosaceae Family, naturalized, evergreen, blooms in mid-spring through late spring, thorns

Scarlet firethorn is a great evergreen shrub that can become quite large. I had to remove mine because they became too large for the spots where I had planted them. They are very difficult to remove. The berries provide food for many types of birds in the fall and early winter (most of the berries are eaten by this time).
