Barberry - Crimson Pygmy

Small yellow flowers in spring produce bright red fruit and later combine with fall colors of orange-scarlet to create an excellent addition to the landscape. It does well in sun to light shade and tolerates a range of soil types, except wet. Berberis thunbergii 'Crimson Pygmy' keeps its ruby-red foliage all season and the new growth is bright red in color, but this plant does best in full sun to produce its color. It produces bright, red berries from fall through winter. The Crimson Pygmy Barberry is a miniature Barberry and only grows to be about 2 feet tall and 3 feet in its spread. Its habit is broad rounded, uniform, and dense. ... details
Privet - Chinese South The Chinese South Privet, Ligustrum sinense, is an abundant semi-evergreen small tree or large shrub, most commonly found invading the understory of moist areas. Copious amounts of fruits are produced. The berries turn black when ripe and are gobbled up by birds, which spread the seeds far and wide. The foilage is sometimes so thick that nothing can grow underneath the shrub. It usually reaches a height of 15 feet and has pretty white flowers in the late spring. Its oval leaves are dark green. |
