    One of the larger Nandinas, to 6-8' (though it can easily be pruned) with broad, bamboo-like leaflets that turn a brilliant red in winter. Sun-PSh/Med

    Taller growing, this one will reach about 6' over time. The red pigment forms in the leaves even in milder winter southern states where red tinged purple foliage has been observed. Pink flowers and red fruits appear, with the fruits showing color ahead of most forms.

    Evergreen shrub, taller than some, to 6 ft tall x 3-5 ft wide, with green foliage that turns many shades of dark red in autumn, a great backdrop for the red fruit that follows the pink summer flowers. Best in rich soil, in sun to part shade with summer water -- though tolerates occasional drought once established. Frost hardy to -10F, USDA zone 6.
