Tree Turmeric- Berberis aristata

You find the Tree turmeric flowering all along the toad in the Himalayan foothills in May. The attractive yellow flowers  are buzzing with bees, When the fruits appear, the bushes look pretty.
The Tree Turmeric is also found in Kerala. It has many uses in Ayurveda.

  1. Beautiful! we have a native berberis in Wyoming (USA), also with beautiful flowers, but it's a very small low shrub. It's called Oregon grape -- for the berries
