Berberis x stenophylla Hedging Plants Description

Berberis x stenophylla is an evergreen variety of Barberry, similar to Berberis darwinii and Berberis julianae. This plant features small, dark green, leathery leaves on elegant, arching branches. In spring, the stems are covered with fragrant, cup-shaped yellow flowers, while in autumn, they bear abundant blue-black berries that attract birds. Its sharp thorns and dense growth habit provide excellent roosting, hiding, and nesting sites for wildlife. Berberis x stenophylla performs best in sunlight but is also tolerant of shade. It thrives in a wide range of soils and conditions, including coastal areas, though it is not suitable for very wet or windy sites. Consider exploring our selection of hedging options for exposed locations.

To maintain its shape, trim Berberis x stenophylla after flowering, or allow it to grow naturally for a more informal appearance. The small foliage allows for precise shaping and as this species is resistant to Box blight, it is included in our range of Box Hedging alternatives.

Pruning Advice

Berberis stenophylla hedge trimming should be done immediately after flowering.

Further Information

Our recommended planting densities for each size and root type are listed in the product grid. These should be used as a guide when considering the time you are willing to wait for your hedge to achieve its full appearance. As a general indication, bare root plants can be spaced at 3 to 7 per metre, while cell-grown plants can be spaced between 4 and 6 per metre. For higher densities, consider planting in a double staggered row or a zig-zag pattern.
