- The leaves of Oregon Grape are a holly-like ground cover and usually have seven to nine leaflets in pairs along a thin, tough stem. They are rough-textured, wavy-margined with prickly edges, and darker green above than below. Some of the evergreen leaves turn red in the autumn. The blossoms are tight yellow clusters and bloom in early spring. Both the stems and roots have a bright yellow pith and very bitter taste due to the presence of the alkaloid berberine. The flowers mature into tart bluish berries with a white “bloom.” Fruit matures in early summer.
Never take a shovel after Oregon Grape roots as you can do great harm to the colony from which you harvest the root. Instead, firmly grasp a plant and pull until the root breaks free. Roots are best gathered any time the plant is not in flower or fruiting. The fruits are harvested in late summer. One common name of Oregon Grape is Barberry and includes Mahonia aquilfolium, Mahonia repens, Mahonia nervosa, Mahonia pinnata, Mahonia vulgaris and other Mahonia species, which can be used interchangeably.
