A spiny, semi-evergreen shrub. Slightly toothed, mid to dark green leaves which are bronzy-red when young turning green through Summer and then a rich red through Autumn. Small clusters of yellow flowers in late spring followed by red-purple fruits. Makes a good specimen or a tough, prickly and striking hedge with good colour from Spring and into the Autumn. Birds will appreciate the berries. Berberis x media Red Jewel is more compact than other similar berberis varieties. Holds the RHS award for garden merit.
