Russian Almond vs Oregon GrapePrunus tenella Berberis aquifolium (Mahonia aquifolium) SOLD OUT SOLD OUT
Russian Almond is a low maintenance, short, slightly suckering shrub. It is covered with attractive, bright pink flowers in early spring before its foliage emerges.
Oregon Grape is an evergreen shrub native to North America, found along the Pacific coast. In spring, the bright golden-yellow flowers appear in clusters above the leaves. These flowers eventually give way to edible blue berries in late summer. While not a true grape, the berries appear grape-like due to their colouring and clustered growth. They can be eaten fresh, but the sour taste and high amounts of natural pectin make them well suited for preserves. RUSSIAN ALMOND QUICK FACTSOREGON GRAPE QUICK FACTS
