Latin Name:  Berberis ruscifolia
Family:  Berberidaceae
Author:  Lam.
 
Known Hazards:  None known
 
Mature Height:     Mature Width:  
 
Habitat:  Not known



Cultivation Notes:  Prefers a warm moist loamy soil and light shade but it is by no means fastidious, succeeding in thin, dry and shallow soils[11 200]. Grows well in heavy clay soils. We have very little information on this species but it succeeds outdoors at Oxford Botanic Gardens[67] and so should be hardy in many parts of Britain. Plants can be pruned back quite severely, they resprout well from the base[200]. Hybridizes freely with other members of this genus[1]. This species is closely related to B. illicifolia[1].
