  1. #FoliageFriday

    Although I've always loved the beautiful foliage of #JapaneseBarberry shrubs, we've avoided adding any to our own gardens. They're highly invasive if not heavily controlled. Japanese barberry provides prime environments for #ticks to breed due to the high humidity in barberry's dense foliage. It's believed that spread of barberry is correlated with the spread of #LymeDisease.

    I really wish stores/nurseries that sell plants would inform customers on problematic ones so folks can make more informed decisions. Many uninformed customers often buy Japanese barberry shrubs because they're deer resistant & visually appealing. I suggest avoiding it. It's been banned for sale in some USA states.
    Just admire the shrubs in public cultivated gardens - don't grow them.

  6. Cherry Blossoms and Barberry

    A spontaneous drive reveals how familiar trees and flowers often come from distant ecosystems, not local woodlands.

  11. Lyme Disease-Toting Ticks Abundant on Common Invasive Plant, New Study Finds
    Academics

    The greater amount of Japanese barberry growing on a property, the greater amount of Lyme disease-carrying ticks you are likely to have.
