Can anyone tell me what this shrub is? It has spikes on the leaves and gets grape like clusters. A friend of mine didn't want it anymore, but she couldn't remember the name of it. -

The grass may be greener on the other side,but you still have to mow it.

What you have is Mahonia aquifolium (Oregon Grape). The name has been changed to Berberis aquifolium.
