This is in the yard at the rental, it's pretty, want to know what it is, if I need to execute it or propagate off it. I like it! Hope it isn't evil.
Scale here is total plant length right now is about 18 inches long, one shot from the top, one from the side.

Thank you!  
:D

Berberis thunbergii, Japanese Barberry -- Noxious weed

Gardens in my mind never need water
Castles in the air never have a wet basement
Well made buildings are fractal -- equally intelligent design at every level of detail.
Bright sparks remind others that they too can dance
What I am looking for is looking for me too!

My first thought would be a euphorbia of some type, I know it as ipecac. If it has thorns then I would say Japanese barberry. But I really would lean toward ipecac. I had one pop up in my garden and I figured out what it was at one point. It hung around for years then disappeared and now I cant remember exactly what species of euphorbia it was. But maybe that will help get you on the right track.

I had to look up barberry. Yep, berberis. I would have said berberis as well, but the European variety (berberis vulgaris).

I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do. (E.E.Hale)

Apples for all of you. Executing it. Missouri Botanical says

Midwest Noxious Weed: Do Not Plant
This plant is listed as a noxious weed in one or more Midwestern states outside Missouri and should not be moved or grown under conditions that would involve danger of dissemination.
Shame, it's pretty. But yeah, I looked at it close, and it thorned me. It's still young, so not a lot of thorns, had to look for them.
It's right by the fence, bird poop, I suspect.
Crud. It's very pretty!
Thank you all!!

I'm off to kill a pretty plant.

i am not that familiar with that species but other species of berberis are medicinal and have an (almost) edible berry. by that i mean it's edible but doesnt taste good + medicinal - so strong.

yeah some random googles -->

https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/barberries

Medicinal use of barberry dates back more than 2,500 years. It has been used in Indian folk medicine to treat diarrhea, reduce fever, improve appetite, relieve upset stomach, and promote vigor, as well as a sense of well being.

and PFAF is always a good resource for getting all the info ---> https://pfaf.org/user/Plant.aspx?LatinName=Berberis+thunbergii


common berberis --> https://pfaf.org/user/plant.aspx?LatinName=Berberis+vulgaris


i am more familiar with Oregon grape (Mahonia), which is loosely related somewhat, and grows abundantly wild all over the west coast...but it's a good powerful medicinal, anti fungal, and works on yeast and candida issues, as well as digestive issues...
 
For my next trick, I'll need the help of a tiny ad ...
