      Not all modern varieties of Thunberg barberry tolerate harsh winters, but among them there are worthy varieties with red shades for the garden collection. Spread (height and width 2–3 m), the Golden Ring has dark purple or red leaves with a yellow-green border, in the fall - rich red. The height is 1,5 m, the width is 2 m. Harlequin with variegated white-pink-purple foliage and pink-colored “Pink Queen” with brown-red foliage with pink-red spots. The leaves of the young shoots of “Rose Glow” (height 1.5 m) are painted in a motley pink color, on the adult branches the leaves are purple-violet, almost bluish. “Coronita” (1,5 × 1,5 m) carries bright red leaves on young branches, dark purple - on the shoots of past years, while maintaining a characteristic border.

    Barberry is especially beautiful in the fall - red fruits hang like garlands, and dark green leaves turn purple. The first one I had was the Barberry of Thunberg. It is resistant to disease and drought, undemanding to soil, and tolerates haircuts. Unlike ordinary barberry, it is more winter-hardy. True, his berries are inedible.
    She planted barberries in the spring, on the same dates as currants.

    He does not like cramping, so when planting he retreated from other plants on 1,5. The sapling watered regularly until it grew, that is, until it took root. Now I water the shrub only after flowering and in a long summer drought. Due to excessive moisture in the barberry fruits may fall off prematurely.
    In colder regions, where summer is wet and not too warm, the barberry can be struck by rust.

    Then you have to use fungicide. To ensure a successful wintering in the fall, during a shallow digging of the trunk circle, I bring in organic fertilizer. Because of the thorns, I spend pruning quite rarely - I delete only broken and dried branches.
    This year I am going to plant an ordinary barberry or beskostochkovy barberry, so that you can not only contemplate the beauty, but also savor delicious fruits.
