Due to the recent discovery of the spotted lanternfly in South Carolina, California has restricted the shipment of plants from SC as well as 15 other states in which the spotted lanternfly had already been found. It was found over 100 miles from Nurseries Caroliniana, but the whole state has been put under quarantine until a treatment protocol can be worked out to resume shipments to California. Authorities hope that this can be accomplished by the end of the month.

James Barberry. Not a very auspicious name for what I consider is quite an elegant plant. I would prefer "Elegant Barberry." I first saw this selection at Plant Delights Nursery in Raleigh, NC and it was in full flower at the time with elegant panicles of yellow flowers hanging from almost every node. It wasn't time to take cuttings, so I tried to plan a trip when cutting wood would be more appropriate. Unfortunately the previous winter they transplanted their specimen and it was lost. When speaking at a Lily Conference in July, 2018 near Seattle, WA I saw a specimen at Far Reaches Farm in Kingston. I was transfixed because their specimen was in full fruit with salmon-pink fruit hanging from its pendulous branches. Fortunately they had one plant available. Since then I was able to propagate a few. I saw references to it being only a zone 7 hardiness, but Dr. Donglin Zhang from UGA assured me that it would grow in Maine. It makes a multi-stem shrub of 7-8'.
