| Hi all,
Went to a bunch of nurseries today and I saw a red, pillar barberry shrub. Nice looking- big thorns, and it said it grows to four feet tall, 24" wide. Does Barberry grow in hot inland valleys? I have never seen it here, but then again, most people in Simi have lawns. Renee |

| It grows great here in the Napa Valley. Those thorns are what makes it so popular as a barrier to foot traffic. I like the color it adds. I prune it to keep it compact. I remove the oldest, largest growths as close to the ground as I can get. My wife can not walk by without it reaching out and scratching her. I keep it about four feet high by three feet wide. Al |
