I think it is Mahonia.

Yes it is a Mahonia.

Jason, Both Margaret and Deborah have it right! That's a Mahonia! They are pretty common plant here in GA. The berries will just fall off when they are ready to fall. It will flower a yellow bloom and to my knowledge i don't think the berries will stain unless they are crushed I am assuming. Hope this helps!

I have one of those too. I don't know much about it. But, the flowers were there, then turn into berries. It grows long, yellow strands of small flowers that bloom late winter/early spring, add a nice color when most is still brown. But, mine is intruding on a well established rosemary bush which I prefer to keep. I look forward to hearing what others have to say about it, both good or bad.

Some consider this to be a noxious weed as it is spread by birds eating the seeds. There are some really beautiful cultivars with very bright fragrant blooms.

"Soft Caress" Mahonia is a nice one!

It is a mahonia belei. I'll take it!!

Cool find.... I had to buy mine! Birds eat the berries and deposit the seeds. Cool freebie!!

My grandad has 10 or more of these they are pretty and easy to care for, the berries just fall off and songbirds seem to love landing on this plant as it gets larger.

Mahonia. You should move it to a place where you don't have to brush by it. It has very fierce stickers, but the smell of the flowers is heavenly.

i don,tknow,but its beautiful.

Known as Grape Holly 'round here.

Always wanted one but it is marginally hardy where I live.

I live in central IN & have this weed coming up every year, it get's 7' tall

It is a leatherleaf mahonia. I think they're just beautiful. They grow really large, and have sharp points on the leaves like holly. I wish I could come dig it up for you. I'd bring it home with me. I love them.

Yes, it is mahonia bealei. They are really lovely. Maybe you can move it to a place of its own.

Mahonia...just move it.

Mahonia, the birds will clean off those berries in a matter of days

Good question Jason! With all of these answers I still can't decide what to do about mine hovering over my rosemary...and the Mahonia is about 6ft tall. Would it be easier to move the rosemary, which is about 3x3ft?

Sometimes you just have to choose between damaging one desirable plant over another less desirable one. Even though many of us love Mahonia....its not a rare plant and would not be a great loss to just cut it down. If the azalea is the plant you want most, then protect it. Or...you can very carefully cut it out below the soil line...getting a few roots and pot it up until it can be given to someone or safely transplanted with healthy roots. Same with your Rosemary, Caitlin.

Oregon grape is not only decorative, but useful. the berries can be picked for jelly. The variety growing in our area is hardy to Z3

This is an Oregon Gold Grape Holly. Wonderful Plants and quiet expensive. The need morning sun with shade in the hot afternoons. I had this plant and loved it!
