Tall Oregon Grape
Mahonia aquifolium
Fragrant bright yellow flowers bloom from early to late spring. The showy clusters of bluish-black berries which follow resemble clusters of grapes and are attractive to birds. The prickly foliage, which remains on the plant throughout the year, takes on a reddish tinge in winter. Tall Oregon Grape is an attractive ornamental as well as a valuable restoration plant, forming thickets and stabilizing soil with its rhizomatous root structure.
