Article Abstract:

The Japanese barberry like many invasive non-natives was welcomed in the country and was warmly embraced as a replacement for native B, vulgaris, but was later blamed for spreading cereal rust that damaged agricultural crops. Hence, cotoneaster as a low-growing, low maintenance plant is recommended as an alternative to barberry worth growing.
