Leatherleaf Mahonia_________________

Mahonia bealeii (Leatherleaf Mahonia or Beal's Barberry)

Yellow flowers appear in the winter

Leatherleaf Mahonia, Mahonia 'bealei'  

is a speciman plant in my woodland landscape.

This is an attractive and erect shrub with powdery blue fruit clusters. This  choice was made for year-round interest because it is evergreen 24/7/365. It's yellow flowers appear in late winter and transform into a blue fruit in the spring. 

Agarita                 Mahonia trifoliolata Berberis trifoliolata 'Agarita'   Mahonia trifoliolata.  This speciman is used in water-saving landscaping and is a good barrier plant.
