[MAIPC] Berberis julianae or wintergreen barberry

[Elizabeth Mizell]

Can anyone give some insight of the invasiveness of this shrub? EddMaps
shows just a few reports Virginia and DC, but I wonder if it has been
underreported. I did report it. Any experiences or observations out there?

I recently found one growing in natural area outside of Charlottesville,
VA. Nasty thing and I am not sure why anyone would plant it. Likely an
escape from nearby landscaping transported by a bird. Unfortunately, it a
few weeks ago I spotted it being sold by a local nursery here in
Charlottesville. It would be a great conversation to have with that
nursery, but I want to be armed with information first.

Thank you,
Beth Mizell
