Qm mahonia nevinii
- 1. * Nevin’s Barberry – Mahonia (Berberis) nevinii (muh-HOE-nee-uh neh-VIN-ee-uh) Family: Berberaceae (Barberry Family) Native to: Rare in foothills of San Gabriel mountains to Riverside and San Bernardino Counties; San Fernando Valley Foothills; in sandy to gravelly soils in washes, and on rocky chaparral slopes. Growth characteristics: woody shrub mature height: 6-12 ft. mature width: 6-12 ft. Evergreen woody shrub with stiff branches and a rounded top. Leaves are blue-green, tapered and spiny (like a holly). Shape is mounded, dense and spreading. Branches are an attractive red- brown. Moderate growth rate. Blooms/fruits: Blooms Mar-Apr. Showy, fragrant yellow flowers in loose clusters along branches. Fruits is a striking yellow-red to red berry, to 1/3 inch long, in summer/fall. Fruits are edible (make a good jelly) but birds usually eat most of the berries. Uses in the garden: Most often used as an evergreen shrub. Works well in a mixed border, or as a hedge, screen or barrier plant. Outside the garden it is often utilized along roadsides, fence-lines, slopes, and upland riparian areas. Tolerant of wide range of garden conditions. Good accent plant with showy blooms/berries and interesting leaf-shape & color. Nice along sunny south-facing walls. Sensible substitute for: Non-native hollies, barberries; other large dense upright shrubs. Attracts: Excellent bird habitat plant. Provides good cover (even the cats don’t like the spiny leaves) . Berries are a favorite for berry-eating birds incl. Towhees, Mockingbirds, Cedar Waxwings. Requirements: Element Requirement Sun Full sun best; may grow in part shade, but will not flower/fruit as well. Soil Any well-drained soil – not particular; any local pH is fine, but probably does best with slightly acidic. May benefit from organic mulch (pine needle or redwood bark) Water Very drought tolerant once established; better bloom with infrequent deep watering. Fairly adaptable to garden conditions. Fertilizer None needed Other Organic mulch Management: Prune to shape – even shear as a hedge. Young plants will become fuller with tip pruning (pinching) to increase branching. Remove dead branches. Severely prune to rejuvenate. Propagation: from seed: yes; fresh seed in fall or cold-treat for spring by cuttings: root cuttings (dormant in fall) or division of suckers in spring. Leaf cuttings can also be successful. Plant/seed sources (see list for source numbers): 1, 3, 8, 11, 13, 14, 20, 28 2/18/11 * CA native plant but not native to Western L.A. county © Project SOUND
