Hi,

This is a pic from Liajang, China. It looks like some type of Holly to me, but with white berries? Anyone know what it is?

Perhaps a type of Berberis.

Absolutely not a holly, with those spines.

I missed the spines. Berberis for sure. But with white berries? Or do you think they are immature?

I guess they are white at maturity. Like many other plants , some forms may have white fruit.

Flora of China lists many species of Berberis. Unless you have a lot of photos, it may be almost impossible to key out.

Here is a link that might be useful: Berberis white fruit

Berberis pruinosa =)
