Nandina domestica
Town Creek Park
Auburn, Alabama
Note: This plant is not a bamboo but an erect evergreen shrub up to 2 m (7 ft) tall by 1.5 m (5 ft) wide,
with numerous, usually unbranched stems growing from ground level.
The glossy leaves are sometimes deciduous in colder areas, 50–100 cm (20–39 in) long, bi- or tri-pinnately compound,
with the individual leaflets 4–11 cm (2–4 in) long and 1.5–3 cm broad.



Nandina is considered invasive in North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida.[16]
It was placed on the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council's invasive list as a Category I species, the highest listing.
It has been observed in the wild in Florida in Gadsden, Leon, Jackson, Alachua and Citrus counties, in conservation areas, woodlands and floodplains.[17]
In general, the purchase or continued cultivation of non-sterile varieties in the southeastern United States is discouraged.
