Very, VERY, carefully. I suggest leather gloves and long sleeves. You can prune at anytime year except dead of winter. Pyracacantha is a very fast grower and can get out of hand very quickly. I am not sure if Pyracantha thorns are poisonous, but I've have stuck with them and it left a very tender, sore and red spot. Be careful

A pychantha bush has thorns, making it difficult to handle during moving. The best way to move it is to trim back the branches as much as possible. Grabbing it on the main stem using gloves will minimize the risk of injury.

If poked by a Pyracantha thorn is it poisonous?

The poison in a Pyracantha is in such tiny amounts that being pricked by a thorn would not cause any problems. The above may be true but I have found on several occasions when pruning our Pyracantha that the almost inevitable pricks by the amazingly sharp thorns will often leave me with a very sore and red finger or arm. This goes away after 2 or 3 days. This is possibly due to the minute amounts of cyanide in the plants.
