Barberry alcohol-free tincture (1 : 4) Barberry (Sauerdorn) tincture made from ground root bark What is barberry (Berberis vulgaris)? Barberry, also known in German as Sauerdorn or Essigbeere, is a shrub that can grow up to three metres high and was originally native to North Africa. The name "Berberitze" is associated with the Berbers who lived in this region and was later adopted in the European context by the Romans. Although the shrub may look defensive because of its thorns, its appearance is still appealing. The yellow-brown to grey bark conceals a bright golden-yellow layer, while the fragrant yellow flowers are reminiscent of buttercups. Over the seasons, scarlet edible fruits develop from them and are known for their distinctly tart taste. Barberry prefers dry to moderately moist, calcareous soils and grows in both light and partial shade. This is why it is often found along forest edges and in open floodplain areas.
