Bonsoir et bienvenue a GoY! You need to collect ripe seeds and sow them immediately in the autumn, either in a seed bed outdoors, or in pots. They germinate better if you keep them cold! Avez vous compris, Alexandre? Je ne parle pas bien francais.

Any plants you get from the seed may not be the same as the parent plant. Mahonia x media is a cross between two different parent plants so your 'children' may revert to one of them.
I hope you can understand this!

Vous parlez bien l'anglais, mon brave! Je regrette que mon livre non dit pas le temps. I can't say the rest - sorry! Don't water the seeds every day - just keep the compost moist, or the seeds might rot. Adieu!

On question - Mahonia x media

I think that the seeds must be fresh, Alexandre - were they? If so, be patient. They may take a LOT longer to germinate.

On question - again Mahonia x media

Hello Alexandre552.
I am learning gardening.
I live in Birmingham, England.
I spent many years in France, when I was young.

La raison pour ceci est ; mon Frère a failli épouser une fille « Pascal » appelé, et pour cette raison, ma famille est venue en France beaucoup fois, pour les visites sociales qui étaient le grand amusement.

Comprenez-vous ma traduction ? J'espère si...

Kev.

Purchased from - Ebay 2006
Purchase cost - very cheap approx £1.00 each
Current height x spread 2008 - 1m x 80cm
Expected height x spread - 400cm x 400cm
Habit - Evergreen with very spikey leaves and canary yellow flowers grown on raceames from October to March. Flowers are followed by purple berries hanging along the branches
Garden placement - Along front garden path
Personal notes - need to look up pruning or transplanting as grow too large for current position. See if possible to standardise. Look into seed propagation.
