Japanese Barberry
Available on request, please ask.
A spiny medium-sized deciduous shrub of compact habit and a great option for a low to medium-high hedge, Japanese barberry produces yellow cupped shaped Spring flowers. It clips well, making a neat hedge. It comes into its own in the Autumn when its green foliage turns shades of orange and red, followed by glossy bright scarlet berries. Berberis thunbergii’s thorny nature also provides good nesting and cover for small birds.
