Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Medicinal | Edible Uses Latin Name: Berberis wilsoniae Family: Berberidaceae Author: Hemsl.&Wils. Known Hazards: None known Mature Height: 1 Mature Width: 2 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, 200]. Grows well in heavy clay soils. Succeeds in full sun or light shade[11, 200].
Hybridizes freely with other members of this genus, especially the closely related B. aggregata[11, 200]. The true species is seldom seen in cultivation, having been replaced with its hybrid progeny[182]. There are some named forms, selected for their ornamental value[11].
Plants can be pruned back quite severely, they resprout well from the base[200].
This species is notably resistant to honey fungus[200].
