About Barberry Bush

Berberis thunbergii is a dense, rounded deciduous shrub reaching 3 to 6 feet in height and width. It features small, obovate green leaves that transform into brilliant shades of orange, red, and yellow in autumn. Known for its sharp spines at each node, it serves as an effective barrier or hedge. This adaptable plant thrives in full sun to part shade and tolerates drought, urban pollution, and poor soils, though it is considered invasive in North America. Red berries persist into winter.
