Berberis - Sunjoy™ Gold Pillar Barberry

Great garden architecture! Sunjoy™ Gold Pillar has an upright columnar shape similar to 'Helmond Pillar' Barberry, but with bright golden yellow foliage and red new growth. In the fall the foliage is stunning as it changes to bright orange-red. Save time as this plant require no pruning. Proven to be burn resistant in side-by-side tests with other yellow leaved Barberries. Certified Rust Resistant.
