The other two invasive plants on the list, burning bush and Japanese barberry, were ones that Jacquart planted in her yard about 25 years ago. Both are known for colorful leaves in the fall.

Berberis canadensis is a deciduous shrub, which grows, on average 1 meter (3 ft 3 in) in height, sometimes reaching as high as 2 meters (6 ft 7 in). It spreads by rhizomes, forming large stands of clones. Rhizomes enable the plant to absorb more nutrients from the soil. This enables the species to grow in relatively dry environments.
Berberis (/ ˈ b ɜːr b ər ɪ s /), commonly known as barberry, [1] [2] is a large genus of deciduous and evergreen shrubs from 1–5 m (3.3–16.4 ft) tall, found throughout temperate and subtropical regions of the world (apart from Australia). Species diversity is greatest in South America and Asia; Europe, Africa and North America have ...
Vigorous growth is also a hallmark of many non-native and invasive plants, and burning bush also checks this box and can grow to 30-feet tall and wide when it is not regularly pruned.
Berberis darwinii, Darwin's barberry, [3] is a species of flowering plant in the family Berberidaceae, [4] native to southern Chile and Argentina and naturalized elsewhere. Regional vernacular names include michay, calafate, and quelung. [5] Growing to 3–4 m (9.8–13.1 ft) tall, it is an evergreen thorny shrub.
