[MAIPC] [External] Re: Berberis julianae or wintergreen barberry

[Rohrbaugh, Andrew]

I haven’t seen it/had it reported in our state forests, but I have no problem believing that it could be an issue in the future, based on the genus!

I encourage folks to treat/manage against it more for its association with ticks than it being biologically invasive.

My limited experience: it is invasive, but it hasn’t been widely planted for a long time yet, so we’re just starting to see it come up in the wild. Introduced 1900; people are going for it more now in the never-ending search for easy, evergreen plantings. First time I saw it (about 8 years ago), it wasn’t on any of my lists of invasives, & I identified it using Dirr’s Manual of Woody Landscape Plants.

Looks like there are a few more records on iNaturalist (I didn’t check them to see if the verifications were accurate). I also didn’t look for unvalidated records for the species – which could turn up a few more possible sites.

Subject: [MAIPC] Berberis julianae or wintergreen barberry

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
