The genus Berberis includes many valuable shrubs, typically very spiny, with yellow or orange flowers, followed in autumn by red fruits.

Berberis heterophylla has small, glossy leaves on tall, thorny stems. The bright yellow flowers smother the branches in spring and there are blue-black fruits in autumn.
