Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Medicinal | Edible Uses Latin Name: Berberis sieboldii Family: Berberidaceae Author: Miq. Known Hazards: None known Mature Height: 1 Mature Width: Habitat: Not known
Cultivation Notes: Prefers a warm moist loamy soil but it is by no means fastidious, succeeding in thin, dry and shallow soils[11, 182, 200]. Grows well in heavy clay soils. Prefers a lime-free soil[182]. Prefers a dry sunny position[11].
A very ornamental plant[1], it is closely related to B. vulgaris[200]. This species is probably an alternate host of 'black-stem rust' of wheat and is best not cultivated in cereal growing areas[K].
Hybridizes freely with other members of this genus[1].
Plants produce suckers freely, forming thickets[182]. They can be pruned back quite severely and will resprout well from the base[200].
