The following was received via email: Please see the attached photo, and tell me if this is indeed a Mahonia of some type? Thank you, Margaret
Leatherleaf mahonia Yes, it looks like Mahonia japonica or M. bealei, both of which are commonly called leatherleaf mahonia. The hybrid mahonias (such as M. x media 'Charity' or 'Lionel Fortescue') are not as straggly as the one in the photo.
