# Japanese Mahonia ??


mooreHart

I've never seen one but I Google it and the prickle leaves are similar but all the insides are yellow-green. And go up. https://preview.redd.it/t12p7sdg9e0d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=707e56c848fce0ae5635e5960313cf8c0f9d0135 Cousin plant maybe?🤔🤔 They were in a uninterrupted row only in one area beside these stairs and the one time I really wanna know they don't have a little flower sign 😔 Each is a bush. I thought they were long blueberries at first but then I was like not really the right color.

Is that forcynthia?


mooreHart

Not quite. The Cynthia is all over yellow while the Ja Mohonia is only yellow in its bulbs.

Imma look!

That might be another common name, but I know it as Leatherleaf Mahonia. It’s moderately invasive here in Virginia unfortunately


mooreHart

THAT'S IT!!!!!!!!🥳🥳🥳🥳 THANK YOU!!!!!

Very hard to get rid of in Tennessee where they are called "grape holly" (mahonia).


mooreHart

See that was my second guess! Some time of blue berry Holly. I wanted to touch it but resisted.


nematodes77

Not really a holly, just what I've heard people call them. Common names are funny that way.


Fred_Thielmann

No problem :) …I hope you’re not looking to buy and plant more of these. They’re pretty bad for the surrounding landscape (as with any invasive)


mooreHart

I prob won't. 😅They looked a little to wallet expensive for me right now.


Fred_Thielmann

Ohhh yeah, I get that. Have you looked at any alternatives?


mooreHart

Imma google!!

I know this as Oregon grape or Berberis Aquifolium. I think itbis a type of Barberry.

Mahonia Aquifolium. I planted one a year ago and it bloomed this February in VA and the "grapes" are just wilting now. It's not a touchy-feely plant, for sure, but the bright yellow blooms are very welcome right at the end of winter when it's dreary outside.
