It is attractive as you said, but when I went for a walk in our Connecticut woods near a housing development, all I saw in the understory of the woodland was barberry. Unmistakable, it was everywhere. Its denseness and thorns are ideal habitat for tick carrying white mice, which adds to our Lyme disease problem in CT. I applaud your landscaping efforts : )<br /><br />The little spruce will grow very slowly, but you know that!Laurriehttp://laurries.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
