Barton Arboretum and Nature Preserve

of Medford Leas

January 1 to January 7, 2017 – Heavenly Bamboo

Nandina domestica, commonly called heavenly bamboo, is a broadleaf evergreen shrub that is grown for its interesting foliage and bright red berries. Native to Japan, China and India, this shrub is also at home here in the Barton Arboretum in the Atrium of the Community Building, and in Courts 12 and 17. Tiny white flowers appear in late spring, and are followed by the sprays of red berries which currently provide winter interest.
