The plant makes a<br \/>good foundation or hedge shrub. It produces half-inch, yellow, fragrant<br \/>flowers in early spring, followed by bright red berries later in spring. The<br \/>tart berries are edible and make delicious jam and jelly. Leaves are gray-<br \/>green to blue-gray in color and are triangular in shape. The three points<br \/>are very sharp. The plant is extremely drought tolerant and a fast grower.<br \/>A dwarf variety that stays 3\u2019- 4\u2019 is available.<\/p><p><br \/><strong>Planting Sites:<\/strong> Agarita prefers full or part sun and will grow in well-drained sandy, loam, caliche, limestone or clay<br \/>soils.<\/p><p><br \/><strong>Planting Instructions:<\/strong> Space plants 3\u2019 \u2013 6\u2019 apart. Dig hole slightly larger than, but the same depth as the nursery<br \/>container. Carefully remove plant from container and gently loosen any circling roots or compacted soil around the<br \/>root ball. Plant at the same depth as the soil in the container. Add 2 to 3 inches of mulch.<\/p><p><br \/><strong>Watering Instructions:<\/strong> Water well after planting, using a root stimulator mixed according to directions. For about 3<br \/>months, water deeply when top 2 &#8211; 3\u201d of soil is dry to promote deep roots that will withstand drought. Skip a<br \/>watering after a rainfall of \u00bd\u201d to 1\u201d.<\/p><p><br \/><strong>Comments:<\/strong> Agarita forms a thicket that offers habitat for nesting birds and small animals. Birds are also attracted<br \/>to its berries. Flowers provide nectar for bees. The plant\u2019s roots can be used to make a yellow dye. Because of its<br \/>prickly leaves, the plant is highly deer resistant and can be used as a protective hedge. Do not plant it near<br \/>walkways. Pruning is generally not needed or recommended.<\/p><p><br \/><strong>Planting and care instructions provided by the Lindheimer Chapters of the Native Plant Society of Texas<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AGARITA Mahonia trifoliolata Agarita is a 3\u2019 \u2013 6\u2019 evergreen shrub, spreading 3\u2019- 5\u2019.
