Just moved some today & cut back the tips to make them bushy. This might be
worth doing to promote new growth.

Can anyone give me some advice on my Berberis Darwinii please? We've just
had some building work done and some of the plants had to be cut back
radically (to about half their height, no leaves left) to allow access.

was back in mid-December.

You won't get any flower this year, but I should be surprised if
the plants were too badly affected. Some people use it as a hedging
plant. If I were you, I would give them a chance, and replace them
this autumn if they didn't respond by making plenty of shoots.

But that isn't based on experience with B. Darwinii, just a general
idea.
