Barberry ShrubVarieties of Barberry ShrubsThe barberry shrub was named for it's sharp "barbs" or thorns that it has, along with the berries it produces in the fall. Depending on the variety you get, many will have spring flowers that are fragrant. The summer foliage is outstanding and many barberry's will produce berries in the Fall as well as change foliage colors. Once established the barberry shrub is one of the lowest maintenance shrubs you will have in your yard. You can trim it to maintain it's shape and size or you can let it grow freely. The long branches will arch towards the ground as they get longer. The thorns on the barberry shrub make them great for deterring deer and other animals. I would not call them deer resistant as I have seen them damage by deer. Another use of the barberry shrub is as a security plant. The thorns on the barberry might deter unwanted visitors.
