***************
▶ "Nandina domestica —commonly known as nandina, heavenly bamboo, or sacred bamboo— is a species of flowering shrub in the barberry family (Berberidaceae), native to eastern Asia. Escaped to the wild in the U.S., it is considered invasive in North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida.

☞ Despite its common name, nandina is not bamboo but an erect evergreen shrub up to 7 feet tall (2 m) by 5 feet wide (1.5 m). In spring, the young leaves are brightly colored pink to red before turning green; old leaves turn red or purple again before falling. The flowers are white, borne in early summer in conical clusters held well above the foliage. The fruit is a bright red berry .2 - .4 inches in diameter (5–10 mm), ripening in late autumn and often persisting through the winter.

☞ All parts of the plant are poisonous, containing compounds that decompose to produce hydrogen cyanide, and could be fatal, if ingested, to humans, many animals, and birds. "
