The newer leaves here are different, but, to me, those older leaves lower on the stem look the same as the leaves shown in Jolana's photo. As her plant matures, later leaves might change appearance. Even the leaf veins look to have the same pattern as far as I can tell. What am I not seeing? I do have newer spectacles, so maybe I should try those .

The cotyledons and first true (juvenile stage 1) leaves do not differentiate our Berberis species, nor the hybrids
