Tiny Gold Dwarf Yellow Barberry

‘Tiny Gold’ is a deciduous dwarf Japanese barberry with bright yellow foliage and a compact, rounded habit. Sooner Plant Farm lists the exact cultivar at 1–2 feet tall and wide. ## Garden Use Use this small shrub in a sunny border, grouped planting, or container, where the yellow foliage can contrast with darker plants. Its rounded shape suits low plantings and small spaces. ## Mature Size The published range is 1–2 feet tall and wide, displayed here as 12–24 inches for both dimensions. The catalog’s 0.5 m measurements fall within that approximate range. ## Light and Seasonal Color The plant is deciduous and keeps yellow foliage through the growing season. Sooner Plant Farm lists USDA zones 4–8 and describes a compact, easy-care shrub. It also reports drought tolerance; water regularly while the plant establishes and during prolonged dry weather. ## Maintenance Remove damaged branches or shape lightly if needed; routine shearing is unnecessary. Barberry shoots are thorny, so use gloves when pruning.
