Propagation
Division of suckers in spring[3]. Whilst they can be placed direct into their permanent positions, better results are achieved if they are potted up and placed in a frame until established[4].
Leaf cuttings in the autumn.Practical Plants is currently lacking information on propagation instructions of Mahonia lomariifolia. Help us fill in the blanks! Edit this page to add your knowledge.
Cultivation
This species tolerates temperatures down to about -10°c when it is fully dormant[5], but plants can be badly damaged by cold drying winds[5] and are not fully hardy in the colder parts of Britain. The young growth in spring can be damaged by late frosts. The flowers are fragrant[6]. There is some confusion over the flowering and fruiting times of this species, I have seen some plants flowering in mid to late spring, whilst others have flowered in the winter and ripen their fruit in late spring to early summer - more research needs to be carried out in order to check if more than one species is grown under this name[K]. Very tolerant of pruning, it can be cut right back into old wood if it has outgrown its welcome[7]. Hybridizes freely with other members of this genus.
Resistant to honey fungus[8].Crops
