Nandina domestica, otherwise known as Heavenly Bamboo, is classified as an evergreen shrub, but it will lose its foliage and canes may die back to the ground in extreme cold. Until that may happen, you can enjoy this shrub in various locations within the Arboretum. You can find them in a number of Courtyard Gardens, including number 12. If you go now, you will enjoy the bright red berries that grow in clusters.
