Description
Close up of the red berries on a heavenly bamboo shrub. Nandina domestica, commonly known as nandina, heavenly bamboo or sacred bamboo, is a species of flowering plant in the family Berberidaceae, native to eastern Asia from the Himalayas to Japan. Despite the common name, it is not a bamboo but an erect evergreen shrub. All parts of the plant are poisonous, containing compounds that decompose to produce hydrogen cyanide, and could potentially be fatal if ingested. Nandina is considered invasive in North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida.
