Barberry The Best and Hardiest Hedge

The Japanese Barberry as a hedge has more good qualities to commend it and fewer faults than any we know. It is of spreading growth and reaches only medium height. Its foliage is a beautiful light green, and it has a small yellow flower. The small thorns serve as a protection from intrusion. Oblong berries of a bright red color hang on during the winter (see winter garden). This is one of its most valuable characteristics, as very few hedges have any great beauty during the winter months. In addition to its other good points, Japanese Barberry is of iron-clad hardiness.
