Picture of a Barberry Shrub. Picture by OpioÅa Jerzy. Image use (cc2) The Barberry Genus has both deciduous shrub and evergreen shrub species. The deciduous species ( such as Berberis thunbergii, and Berberis vulgaris) are popular for their attractive autumn color sequence, turning pink or red before falling.
There's a barberry shrub that has a columnar form, also. It's called Berberis thunbergii 'Helmond Pillar' and averages 4-5 feet tall by just 1-2 feet wide. Like Sky Pencil holly, this choice is a berry-producer (and being red berries, they are showier). But unlike Ilex crenata, it is deciduous. Grow in zones 4-8.here's a barberry shrub that has a columnar form, also. It's called Berberis thunbergii 'Helmond Pillar' and averages 4-5 feet tall by just 1-2 feet wide.
