Thuoberg ? s Barberry (Berberis Thunbergii ) 
If you want a hedge that will give your grounds a really natural effect, plant 
Thunberg’s Barberry. If allowed to grow without pruning or training in any 
way, it will form a compact mass so dense that even a cat can’t get through 
it. The picture above gives an idea of what it looks like when allowed to grow 
without trimming. 
For a low hedge Thunberg’s Barberry stands at the head of the list. The 
leaves are small, light green, and toward fall turn to various colors which produce 
a very pleasing aspect. In fall this handsome plant bears a profusion of bright 
red berries which remain through the winter, making Thunberg’s Barberry 
equally beautiful in summer or winter. This Barberry is without doubt one of 
the best hedge plants and one that requires no attention, as it can be pruned 
or not at the owner’s discretion. Barberry is fully as hardy as California 
Privet, and has points of advantage not possessed by other hedge plants.
