Heavenly bamboo, Nandina domestica, is a wonderful broadleaf evergreen shrub that is grown for its interesting foliage and its bright red berries. Native to Japan, China and India, this shrub is also at home here in the Barton Arboretum in a number of Courts, but this year the display in Court 11 on the Medford Campus seems to be at its best. Surely it is worth it to take a minute to enjoy the brilliant red.
