Green Berberis thunbergii Pot-Grown Hedging 60-90cm

Green Berberis thunbergii is a fast-growing, deciduous hedge plant ideal for coastal and urban gardens. Supplied pot grown (60–90cm tall) for quick establishment, it forms dense barriers with sharp spines, orange spring flowers, and red autumn berries to support wildlife and privacy.

Key Features

• Growth Rate: Up to 30cm/year – makes an effective medium-height hedge faster than many alternatives like box or holly.
• Wildlife Benefit: Dense branches and spines deter intruders while providing shelter for birds; autumn berries attract pollinators and songbirds.
• Hardiness: Tolerates coastal conditions (saline soils, wind) and urban pollutants.
• Seasonal Interest: Green foliage, spring flowers, red berries in autumn.
• Maintenance: Prune annually after flowering for shape and density. Drought-tolerant once established.
