Plant of the month
Mahonia japonica
When you walk passed this on the nursery you are hit by its delicious warm lemony scent. Love it or hate it, this is definitely a plant that is coming back in to fashion with its fantastically architectural shape, yellow flowers beloved by starved and cold pollinators on warmer winter days and of course the black edible fruits which we really make rather good jam - This is something we are going to have to try making this year!
Finally, and most fantastically, you absolutely cannot forget that Mahonia is one of the most tolerant plants you could ever plant in your garden. It will tolerate harsh, exposed sites, costal regions and dry shade. According to the RHS they do not suffer any notable pests or diseases and happily sits in pruning group 8, which means it needs little if no pruning.
