care of barberry bush

Question

I have three bushes, which I believe are barberry in my front yard. One is like twice as tall as the others. If I cut it back to the ground, will it regrow?

Answer 1

I wouldn't take off more than a third of the plant as this can make it more susceptible to pest or disease issues. For more info on caring for barberry, this article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/shrubs/barberry/barberry-shrub-care-tips.htm
