Barberry is a densely growing shrub, naturally grows in the forests of East Asia.These shrubs, depending on the species, are divided into shedding and evergreen shrubs.The most popular are red-leaved varieties, especially Thunberg's barberry.Yellow flowers appear on the bushes from May, and berry-like fruits from September.
Barberry - developmental features
Barberry, depending on the species, reaches a height of 30 cm to 4 m.Thunberg's barberry sheds leaves for winter and has a funnel-shaped growth.Species with a branchy habit, such as barberry glandular Berberis verruculosa and Juliana's barberry Berberis julianae, are evergreen.

Barberry grows best in sunny to semi-shaded positions. Evergreen species are usually slightly more sensitive to frost and they do best in sheltered, bright but not sunny places.Shrubs root flat and take root in almost any garden substrate. They prefer the permeable and fresh (to dry) substrate.
Planting barberry
The most favorable time to plant leaf-shedding barberry is the end of fall. Evergreen forms are planted in early fall or spring.

Evergreen varieties should be watered abundantly in autumn and trimmed immediately after flowering.Pruning of the shedding varieties is carried out in late winter.In rejuvenating the shrubs, trim them to a height of 30 to 50 cm.
