Berberis

Now this was unexpected: among the dozens of seedlings around the adult bushes, a #mutant with chartreuse leaves #killitwithfire #wickedspines

A lot of these seedlings in the flowerbed at work are the first evidence I've ever seen that these are just as invasive as I've heard... #killitwithfire #wickedspines

I'm constantly pulling these from my yard!

They seed like@mad , I had a 15ft hedge of this and I’m still finding seedlings 2 yrs after it was removed!!

One selling point of this invasive pest bush is its #greatcolor in fall

Beautiful, so vibrant❤️

For a while I've puzzled over whether Barberry is as invasive as they say because I never see it spreading out of bounds. Well here's my proof: a seedling right under Mary Jo's office window #killitwithfire

Mine have just gotten bigger but have never become invasive. 🤔

I have one I have to dig up, chopping it didn't work! But man is it painful.

Those thorns are the pits, @MissCandice

But here's the rest of the story on this bush with the gorgeous #fallcolor -- #wickedspines and foul-tasting, toxic berries. Oh, and it's invasive as crap. #killitwithfire

Even the individual leaves, outlined in redgold, are ravishing. #fallcolor #greatcolor

Stunning!

That is Gorgeous!!

Fabulous colours ❤️

Another barberry action shot from the bank of bushes planted at my optometrist's office. #greatcolor #fallcolor

#notmyplant but I had to pull over to get a photo of this color. Normally I am not a fan of these but wow! #greatcolor #fallcolor

I was struck by the #splitpersonality effect of the new swatches of bright leaves against the darker ones. .
