FREE: Oregon Grape-Holly

The listing, Oregon Grape-Holly has ended.

A beauty of a plant/bush. .. and they make good jelly as well.....
The Oregon Grape, or Holly Grape, as they are also called, are evergreen shrubs
that are native to the Pacific Northwest. I live in the Midlands of SC and mine does well.
They have leathery, compound leaves consisting of 5-9 Holly-like leaflets on each side that emerge
with a nice reddish-bronze color in spring, before turning to dark green.
Oregon Grapes are capable of growing up to 6 feet tall and 5-6 feet wide,
making them a perfect choice for a barrier or hedge. Mine is about 4' now and it's about 8 years old. I have separated it once.Terminal clusters of small, bright yellow, lightly scented flowers appear in early to mid-spring
and are followed by clusters of small, edible, grape-like fruits by late summer.
This Deer resistant plant is the State Flower of Oregon and provides food for
Painted Lady Butterflies, Mason Bees and a wide variety of Birds.


Growing Requirements for Oregon Grape Plants

Oregon Grapes are hardy in USDA zones 5-9.
These undemanding plants can be grown in almost any light, from full sun to dense shade, but will grow best in partial shade. They will tolerate a wide range of soil types, but thrive in humus rich, slightly acidic, evenly moist but well draining garden soil.

I will be sending appox. 10 seeds. I have about 10 babies that just came up on their own underneath the mama tree. I will transplant them this fall.
