Anyone got any experience with these?

I am interested in using Berberis julianae as part of a thorny hedge. It
is much cheaper to buy as bare-rooted plants, but I wonder whether the
success rate in planting these will make it worthwhile.

(NB Other plants in the hedge could be blackthorn and Rosa rugosa.)

I have done bare rooted holly in the past, failed to grow the first time due
to wind exposure, replanted with some wind break netting for their first
winter and had no losses the second time. so I think it depends how wind
sheltered they will be until their roots establish.
