There are several different varieties of Mahonia, and we don't know which one this is. However many varieties are native to the west coast, but this is not a sample of one! (It is too tall, it probably is a cultivar from Asia) The berries are apparently edible but extremely sour. The roots were used by the native peoples of the coast for making a yellow dye.
