Thunberg^s Barberry 
Berberis Thanbergii 
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. 
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 hand¬ 
some plant bears a profusion of bright red berries which remain through the 
winter. This Barberry is without doubt one of the best hedge plants and one 
;mat requires no attention, as it can be pruned or not at the owner’s discretion. 
Barberry is absolutely hardy. You need not fear that it will winter-kill at all. 
It will stand trimming, but does not need it even for wonderfully fine hedges, 
unless your space is very small. Along a walk, driveway, or even as a boundary 
hedge Barberry can be used to great advantage, whether you trim it or permit 
It to grow as nature intended. On account of the dense and horizontal-growing 
branches, the plants make a thick hedge.
