Its an upside down berberis, possibly darwinii or a variety of stenophylla

Thanks, I have two, one in the front, one in the back!

Both upside down?

i'm pleased to see I'm not the only one whose photos come out upside down.......

They are probably Australian berberis...

Ouch not good for my cricked neck, yes looks like berberis Darwinii, trim after flowering if you want it more compact.

and when someone said Australian, I believed them!!

;-)

Berberis then - yes they need to be more compact.
