it looks like to me Berberis 'Georgei

Georgei' was named in 1940 by an Oxfordshire vicar and berberis enthusiast, Leslie Walter Ahrendt, in honour of a friend with the surname of George. A fine specimen grew in Lady Ann Palmer's private garden at Rosemoor in Devon during the Sixties and Malcolm Pharoah (from nearby Marwood Hill Gardens) is still propagating from her original plant material.

 

Thanks spruce, I owe you a pint

 

I think that means you agree , its a cracker of a plant which I have never seen before so thanks for sharing the photos. If wanting a berberis I would certainly think of this one now, but so many to choose from thats the problem and sometimes the really good looking ones get over looked.

I knew it was berberis by the leaves but the holly shape leaves threw me so just had a good about soon found it.

I believe this to be Berberis darwinii.

Berberis Georgei is very different in the flowers and the leaves.
A Berberis which I know well. The pendant berries make it very special.

Interesting to see article about Berberis Georgii from Telegraph. Thanks Spruce.
Shame they then added a pic showing Berberis Darwinii rather than one of B Georgii!

I agree it should be better known.,

Quote
"Berberis 'Georgii' is so attractive that it was awarded an AGM in 2002. However, it is still hard to find in nurseries."

We found it hard to find ours...but it was worth it.
Although it is a rather tall, leggy Berberis.

B. Darwinii is very common and readily available from virtually any garden centre.

 

Thanks for all the input Darwinii it shall be then

 

Definitely Berberis darwinii, a noxious weed should it find a location to it's suiting (as road side verges, heaths, and cracks in walls have dicovered in my town).. heathlands beware. However on the other hand, its fruit is edible, and tastes quite nice.
