[Herb] Agarita, Berberis trifoliolata [Gardening Tips] It is very difficult to transplant an Agarita bush, but you could try with a small transplant in the fall or very early spring. Be cautious when harvesting the berries, stems, or roots as Berberis trifoliolta has very spiky, pokey leaves. [Herbal Tidbits] 
This common wild plant grows abundantly in fields, meadows and wooded areas. The stems and bright yellow root of the herb are known for their anti-viral and digestive properties, as it is high in berberine. The tasty red berries are used to make a delicious jam. The Native Americans used it for toothaches.
