Answer 2

I think probably the Barberry bush. It has deep Burgundy leaves, produces a deep red berry, which is toxic if eaten by humans, and is filled with thorns. This is used as a decorative bush, but is also an 'owie' bush. Wear gloves when trimming. It is somewhat attractive, but animals beware when crossing. Those are available in Michigan at all the Kmart, Walmart and the local nurseries.
