Mahonia aquifolium

The Tall Oregon grape, also known as the holly-leaved barberry, is an evergreen shrub native to western North America and particularly common in the Pacific Northwest. Related to Barberries, this hardy shrub thrives in a variety of habitats including forests, woodlands, and slopes and is often found in moist, shaded areas. Tall Oregon Grape grows up to six feet high and less wide, often having multiple trunks with dense clusters of pinnate leaves. Plants are adaptable from full sun to part shade and are reasonably drought tolerant.

In early spring, the shrub produces small, sweetly-scented, yellow flowers that are followed by clusters of small, blue-purple berries in late summer or fall. Tall Oregon Grape berries are edible and can be used to make preserves, jams, and beverages. They can be quite tart raw, but are delicious when cooked and sweetened.

Cold hardy to USDA Zone 5a or to -20 degrees Fahrenheit.
