During the maintenance period, it should be noted that the barberry is not tolerant to waterlogging, and it needs to be drained in time after rain. When fertilizing the barberry, compound fertilizers are mainly used to promote the growth of flowers and leaves.

Precautions for the maintenance of thorny plum

The barberry needs to be pruned during its growth period, but the barberry is poisonous, so you need to wear gloves. In the early stages of growth, you need to pinch the top of the barberry and remove excess leaves to facilitate the growth of new buds. During the growth period, the long branches at the top of the barberry should be cut off to prevent the barberry from growing too tall. The dead and old branches of the barberry should also be cut off to save nutrients for the barberry.
