Sunjoy Citrus Barberry is a rounded deciduous shrub valued for its tidy vibrant foliage that grows full to the ground. The small leaves are a bright golden yellow where the sun touches and chartreuse in shade. Unnoticeable tiny yellow flowers bloom in fall that gives way to small amounts of fruit. Best color in full sun and well-drained soils. Drought and deer resistant. Asexual propagation is prohibited. Citrus has proven sun resistance to be planted in full sun.
