Similar in shape to Berberis 'Helmond Pillar' but with bright golden foliage instead of burgundy. The golden foliage has red new growth. Gives great architectural prescience to the garden. The foliage turns bright orange-red in autumn and is stunning! Burn resistant in full sun compared to other gold barberries. Red berries in Fall. PP18082

B.T MARIA ppaf- The pictures look great for this golden form of barberry that is similar to B. 'Helmond Pillar.' This plant comes from Poland and has very bright yellow foliage (all summer in the nursery) followed by orange-red fall color. This is the replacement for B. 'Pow Wow' which we hoped it was better than it turned out to be. B. 'Gold Pillar' looks great!
