December Red

Nandina domestica at the front steps has put on it's winter red
I cut a couple of tall stems of this to use as decoration in the house
Looks like a small festive tree

On a frosty morning

On a balmy morning

You can stop Nandina from being all legs by pruning it at different levels.

Also, break off the hard base of old leaf petioles on the lower stems to allow new growth there.
