Mahonia-Oregon Grape 1C

Holly-leaf Oregon-grape is a 3-6 ft. or taller mound-shaped broadleaf evergreen shrub with pinnately compound glossy leathery leaves. The 5-9 dark-green leaflets are armed with spiny teeth and turn reddish in fall. Terminal clusters of bright-yellow bell-shaped flowers are followed by clusters of tiny blue grape-like fruits. The bronzy copper color or the new growth in spring is an added bonus.
