Anyone got any experience with these?



I am interested in using Berberis julianae as part of a thorny hedge.

It is much cheaper to buy as bare-rooted plants, but I wonder whether

the success rate in planting these will make it worthwhile.

Depends where you get them from and how long they've been lined out in the field. Years ago field grown stock often came as lovely thick clumps. If you can find that sort of place then you'll be getting something far superior to container grown plants.
