    Welcome to UBC forums Sandie.
    It is Berberis sp....previously known as Mahonia sp.
    It has long arching yellow flowers . Your pic shows the berries.

    Mahonia × media 'Charity'. It had yellow flowers; the "grapes" will be purple and can be used sort of like lemon juice.

    Thank you both for your quick replies. I will research this and hopefully pick one up for my Mom. A friend steered me to this forum and I will check it out more over the weekend. Thank you
