(3-gal) Photo: Source MAHONIA aquifolium $47.00 4’ x4’ z4 Oregon Grape Holly Broadleaf evergreen with fragrant golden flowers and gorgeous, blue, grape-like fruit, which can persist into December. Spectacular foliage - deeply cut, stiff and leathery a lustrous deep blue-green in summer, with purple tones in winter. In spring, leaves are a deep glossy yellow-green, while new foliage emerges bronze-red. We can never decide our favourite season for this shrub. Tolerates dry shade and prefers acidic soil. Site to avoid winter wind. Fast growth rate. Stoloniferous, so it makes a wonderfully ornamental, tall groundcover. Recommended.

Does best in moist, welldrained, slightly acidic soil. Metasequoia has been growing and reproducing itself for 50 million years and was part of the landscape when dinosaurs reigned. Ours, planted in a shady site here years ago, is an elegant beauty. Another, planted more recently in full sun, is eye-popping golden.
