The barberry in my garden has been a large 3-4 m plant since we moved here in 1984; here in full flower<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>

There’s always been a barberry (Berberis vulgaris<\/em>) in my garden, in dry soil in the root zone of my largest spruce trees. It was a large plant when we moved here in 1984 and may be wild as it’s a common plant on the other side of the bay (Malvikbukta) where it grows on shallow dry soils next to the fjord in company with sea buckthorn (Hippophae tamnoides<\/em>). It is thought that this species was originally introduced in monastery gardens and later naturalised. It’s nowadays a relatively common but local plant along the Trondheimsfjord, but isn’t found much further north.<\/p>\n
