Description
Close view of an ornamental shrub. (The Japanese Barberrie in bloom) It has clusters of tiny yellow flowers hanging down. There are small red berries that stay on all winter. They are edible and the birds will eat them all winter. I have given this version a digital paint effect for artistic appeal. Wonderful for any wall in your home or office, or perhaps a greeting card. Many more wonderful works can be found in my various galleries, from photographs and photoart to digital creations and abstracts. Thanks for browsing, commenting and most of all for any purchases. Debbie Portwood :D........................................(Wikipedia) - Berberis thunbergii (Japanese barberry,Thunberg's barberry, or Red barberry) is a species of Berberis, native to Japan and eastern Asia, though widely naturalized in China and in North America............DESCRIPTION - It is a dense, deciduous, spiny shrub which grows 0.6 to 2.5 m (2 to 8 ft) high. It has deeply grooved, brown, spiny branches with a single (occasionally tridentine) spine (actually a highly modified leaf) at each shoot node. The leaves are green to blue-green (reddish or purple in some horticultural variants), very small, spatula to oval shaped, 1224 mm long and 315 mm broad; they are produced in clusters of 2-6 on a dwarf shoot in the axil of each spine. The flowers are pale yellow, 58 mm diameter, produced in drooping 1-1.5 cm long umbrella-shaped clusters of 25; flowering is from mid spring to early summer. The edible fruit is a glossy bright red to orange-red, ovoid berry 710 mm long and 47 mm broad, containing a single seed. They mature during late summer and fall and persist through the winter.
