{{Inc| Nandina (Japanese name). Berberidaceae. A small, tender shrub with bright red or white berries, said to be cultivated in every little garden in Japan. Erect plant: sts. about as thick as a finger: foliage evergreen, graceful at all times, twice or thrice ternately cut; lfts. entire: young growth prettily tinged with red, and the bases of the lower stalks often swollen into red globular bodies: fls. small, numerous, white and panicled. It agrees with the common barberries in having 6 stamens and an indehiscent berry, but the fls. are differently colored and the sepals more numerous. There are about 6 petals, but the numerous sepals gradually pass into petals, the outer ones being small, green and leathery, the inner larger and whiter: ovules 2, ascending from the base: berries red, in clusters terminating the branches, handsome.—Species 1, N. domestica, Thunb. Japan and China. B.M. 1109. Gn. 23, p. 329; 58, p. 13. G.M. 51:665. G. 29:43. This shrub is rarely grown North under glass. Pot- grown plants or seeds are procurable from Japanese dealers. The seeds are said to be of an uncommon shape, being convex on one side and concave on the other. Ernest Braunton writes as follows about the plant in California: "Nandina domestica is an old-time favorite in southern California, ultimately reaching to 8 feet in height, though of slow growth. For a few years past its use in local gardens has steadily increased and bids fair to rival that accorded it in Japan, where it is to be found in nearly every garden. It grows well in whole or partial shade and if well supplied with water does equally well in the hottest sunshine. If used in sunny position it will be found to thrive best when planted in lawns, evidently needing more atmospheric humidity than our climate naturally affords. Its terminal trusses of white flowers, followed by brilliant scarlet berries, added to a winter change of foliage from green to red, unite to make it an interesting and attractive shrub throughout the year." The plant is held in great reverence in China; it there withstands considerable frost when the wood is well ripened. }} ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Varieties== ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== <references/> *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
