Nice fall color on barberry

[davetree]

Here is some nice color on this shohin barberry. This is the best angle to view the color, from straight on it’s not that good. Barberries are not fun and hard to work but sometimes you get this.

Wow!

That is lovely!

Is this a green or red barberry during the growing season? Amazing fall colour

It’s red - Crimson Pygmy is the variety.

Great thanks! I just picked up a “Ring of Fire” which is also a red variety with a faint yellow margin to each leaf. Looking forward to see if mine gets close to your brilliant red in autumn
