Nutrition/Adaptation
Mahonia aquifolium is a vascular
plant, so therefore the main mode of getting food is by
photosynthesis and producing glucose and transports nutrients
and water via the phloem and xylem respectively. The Oregon
Grape is capable of growing in fairly harsh conditions.
The Oregon Grape requires relatively a low amount of sunlight and water, but can also grow in fully sunlit and moist conditions. The Oregon Grape also prefers to live in soil of pH levels from 5.0-8.0, which ranges from slightly acidic to slightly alkaline.
