This boxwood bush is bear over the winter, then starts with mostly red leaf buds and from mid-march to mid-april (picture attached), the leaves loose their read and become a bright matte green. I went to a local nursery and all of their boxwoods looked nothing like mine, and I would like to buy some boxwoods that match the ones I already have. Can you help me? |

| I think this is a barberry, not a boxwood - Does it have thorns? |

| Oh dear...Boxwood or Buxus are evergreen. This means they have leaves all through the winter. You shrub loses the leaves in the winter, so is therefore deciduous...which rules out Buxus completely. |

| Yes, it has thorns It is not evergreen (so not boxwood)? I looked up barberry and can't find a match.. this bush does not produce berries. Can you tell me what type of barberry it might be???   |

| I did some more digging, and I think it is Limoncello? |

| https://garden.org/plants/sear... There are five pages for barberries list in the database here, you can look through those and compare. Limoncello does seem possible. but there are many kinds. |
