Berberis thunbergii (common names: Barberry)

Gosh that's a good one isn't it. Very much underrated is Berberis me thinks.

Very nice colour. The one I've got is much darker, different variety I guess.

Berberis should make a comeback.Its not been mentioned very much over the last few years although it is a painful experience pruning it even when wearing gloves!!!

Some Berberis have relatively harmless thorns and others, with thorns two inches long are true demons! I've got both!

Omg Thorns "2" LONG Big Ouch :( make sure u take care Muddywellys

The B. thunbergii cultivars like this one have little thorns, steer clear of B julianae and stenophylla Jacque!

Not very attractive but it would be a great 'intruder' deterent as the thorns are wicked sharp!!

Simply gorgeous.......smiles

I was just about to ask if it was thorned.... I dug a whole hedge of these plants out for a friend...she gave me the plants in payment...boy did she get the better end of that deal!! when the spines enter your skin they break off...and come up in a little blister... I took the plants home and planted them under my kitchen window...away from traffic.

Nice looking plant combination.!

All your berries are great harvest colors. Do most stay on the plants through winter until the birds clean them up?

nice colour foliage

Thanks

O-o-o-o-o-H! Very nice color...

ahhh...this is familiar... foliage is lovely but the spines are killers! ouch! (you can probably tell I've had direct personal experience with these!) lol.

Thanks Skippy I,ve found that out Lori , but I loved the colour ,so once its planted in the right place I intend to keep well away lol

Absolutely love the color!

I always think it looks as though somebody has spilt paint on it , !
