With its ever present green holly-like foliage, fragrant yellow flowers in the spring and inky blue berries in the fall, leatherleaf mahonia, Mahonia bealei, adds year-round interest in Court 4 and Court 2 on the Medford Campus. This shrub grows slowly and requires very little pruning to control its size. Leatherleaf mahonia belongs to a class of shrubs known as broadleaf evergreens.
