BERBERIS THUNBERGII-BERBERIS THUNBERGII HEDGE, GREEN BERBERIS SHRUBS AND HEDGING
Berberis thunbergii or Green Berberis forms a dense prickly barrier and is one of the best shrubs for a smaller security hedge, either on its own or mixed with Purple Berberis (-link). The rounded mid green leaves turn brilliant red before falling in autumn. Small orange yellow flowers appear in spring and develop into elongated glossy red ‘Barberries’ in autumn that appear to drip from the prickly branches complementing the red foliage. This is one of the best deciduous shrubs for autumn colour.
Like other Berberis (-link –HGN/Berberis), Berberis thunbergii is easily grown in any soil that does not become waterlogged. The most difficult part of growing a Berberis thunbergii hedge is planting it, thick gloves are essential! It will grow successfully on windy exposed sites and in shade.
Berberis thunbergii hedges make excellent intruder proof barriers and can be easily maintained by trimming in late spring after flowering. In reasonable soil Berberis thunbergii will grow up to 1ft (30cm) per year.
We recommend Green Berberis hedge plants are planted 18 inches (45cm) apart, this will produce a dense prickly boundary hedge that acts a formidable barrier.
