Field Notes

Description:

Oregon grape holly is an evergreen shrub growing 5 to 6 feet tall from branches produced by a slowly spreading underground root system. It's neither a grape nor a holly but a member of the barberry family. It has compound leaves with 11 to 19 leaflets, each about 2 inches long and ringed with spiny teeth. In the summertime, leaves are dark green; in winter they turn maroon
