Berberis thunbergii 'Golden Ruby'

Sounds like an interesting plant, but no mention of nasty thorns.

I only want barberries with nasty thorns.

Deer in the garden

I inadvertently scared a doe and two fawns out of the backyard yesterday just before dark.

I had been in the backyard just a few minutes before, went to the front yard, and returned to the backyard.

Going to have to be more vigilant.
