Berberis thunbergii, the Japanese barberry, Thunberg's barberry, or red barberry, [1] is a species of flowering plant in the barberry family Berberidaceae, native to Japan and eastern Asia, though widely naturalized in China and North America, where it has become a problematic invasive in many places, leading to declines in species diversity, increased tick habitat, and soil changes.
Berberis (/ ˈ b ɜːr b ər ɪ s /), commonly known as barberry, [1] [2] is a large genus of deciduous and evergreen shrubs from 1–5 m (3.3–16.4 ft) tall, found throughout temperate and subtropical regions of the world (apart from Australia). Species diversity is greatest in South America and Asia; Europe, Africa and North America have ...
The other two invasive plants on the list, burning bush and Japanese barberry, were ones that Jacquart planted in her yard about 25 years ago. Both are known for colorful leaves in the fall.
Birds are known to eat and spread the seeds of barberry over a wide range. New research also connects this invasive plant to high tick populations.
Stem rust, caused by the fungus Puccinia graminis, is an agriculturally important disease in wheat, barley, oats, rye, and triticale. Since Berberis trifoliolata acts as an intermediate host, farmers have removed the bushes to reduce the prevalence of disease. However, typically the climate is too arid for the cultivation of cereals in areas ...
Berberis vulgaris, also known as common barberry, [3] European barberry or simply barberry, is a shrub in the genus Berberis native to the Old World. It produces edible but sharply acidic berries, which people in many countries eat as a tart and refreshing fruit.
Berberis aquifolium, the Oregon grape [2] or holly-leaved barberry, is a North American species of flowering plant in the family Berberidaceae.It is an evergreen shrub growing up to 3 metres (10 ft) tall and 1.5 m (5 ft) wide, with pinnate leaves consisting of spiny leaflets, and dense clusters of yellow flowers in early spring, followed by dark bluish-black berries.
A barberry testing program was created to ensure that only those species and varieties of barberry that are immune to stem rust will be grown in the quarantine area. [ 2 ] In 1969 two races not detected before in Australia were found [ 11 ] and for decades one hypothesis was an African origin, [ 11 ] [ 12 ] and in 2018 DNA analysis confirmed ...
