Barberry Bonsai for Sale

About Barberry As Shrubs, a Potential Invader, and Bonsai Trees

            Read more on this species and how to identify and train them into bonsai here in my recent article. Briefly, while these make great bonsai due to their small leaves and colorful interest, there is no native barberry in the state of Ohio. Those listed here are Japanese barberry which is not officially listed as invasive in Ohio but they can escape cultivation. The European barberry with a more serrated leaf is known to be invasive here though and should not be propagated or allowed to set seeds.
