Leather Leaf Import

I don't understand
Why so many people love
Mahonia shrubs

They grow in odd spots
They're thorny, they're not pretty
They're non-native weeds

Birds over-plant them
Lured by purple spring berries
Invasive species

I agree! I went on a tear to get rid of plants like mahonia but didn’t get far!

Hi Peggy! Thanks for your comment. I almost removed this post, worried I'd upset people who like them, Moe Miller among them. We have regular chats with divergent ideas for what to do with the ones that pop up here and there :-)
