Barberry (Berberis vulgaris)

  • roots & bark rich in berberine (highly antimicrobial)
  • studies have shown berberine has anti-obesity effects (inhibits adipocytes and down-regulates adipogenic genes) 
  • plays a beneficial role in insulin signalling & blood glucose management in EMS horses
  • helps inhibit bad gut bacteria 
  • can be used to help treat intestinal ulcers

 

Deciduous shrub 2-4m.  Prefers loamy soil but will tolerate most soil types.  Full sun - part shade.  Small edible fruits.  VERY sharp thorns -  take care where planting.  Horses will gently nibble fresh growth, but best planted where there is protected access.  Prized for its medicinal roots.  Will hedge well.  

 

Limited supply (can be challenging to propagate) but more coming soon!

 

*Note current plants are small and can be slow growing initially.  Extra patience will be required before they are ready to plant out.  Discounted to reflect and for those who are eager to obtain ; )
