I found one growing wild.Couple of barberry with nice color. The tall one will get ground layered next spring to make a short tree

The tall one will look better layered about an inch from the bottom. The proportions will be more natural. Yes the thunbergii is difficult to ramify. I think one of our Aussie members has a pretty nice one.The tall one looks good.
What is the matter with it that we dont see?
Does it seem like they are hard to get to ramify to you?
That's a lot of cutting.PS. The thorns are a bitch. Some people cut them off.
That's a lot of cutting.
Most of these I see are also multi trunk plants.
I look in people's yards for big overgrown ones. If I ever see a big single trunker I'm asking if they would like a nicer shrub.Yeah thats the way they tend to grow mostly
I found a single trunk after a year looking for one in nursery's still a small one but i got time
