Horticulturally known as Mahonia Lomariifolla, the Chinese Hollygrape has all the virtues of the surprising, the unusual, the exotic, the reliable, the adaptable ... a plant carefully chosen from our extensive nurseries (the largest in New Zealand) and offered for the first time in number as a seasonal GIFT at a special GIFT price. CHINESE HOLLYGRAPE is a native of Yunnan and Formosa, and will be happy in any New Zealand garden. The picturesque, erect branchlets are beset with long pinnate leaves comprising 15 to 19 vairs of rigid sea-green leaflets. It lights the winter with a glow of deep yellow flowers in terminal clusters of erect racemes 6 to 10 inches long carrying up to 250 blooms at maturity. The young growth is delicately tinted pink and pencilled. But that is not all: after the flowers come the berries, intriguingly grapelike in miniature form, of a dark and dusky blue with the typical cheek-bloom of the real grape. The CHINESE HOLLYGRAPE is an absolute gem through all stages of its steady growth to its final six feet or so in average soil.
