Mahoberberis Dart’s Desire
An interesting new hybrid between Mahonia and Berberis which has been mentioned in the gardening magazines and gets good reviews (in Dutch). They are nice strong compact, bushy, evergreen shrubs with glossy, spiny-toothed, leathery, dark green leaves and small clusters of bright yellow flowers in spring which are then followed by blue-black berries. It would grow to about .6m in 10 years.
