    Not only is this heavenly bamboo a paler green than others, its berries are a ghostly white to banana yellow. VERY cool. Use as you would other nandinas but perhaps provide a bit of shade to protect the leaves from burn. An excellent evergreen, to 6' tall x 4' wide in ten years. Drought tolerant in shade, once established but accepts summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 6. Berberidaceae

    This 4-6' white-berried form has no red in its foliage, either, being, instead, a softer lighter green. Sun-PSh/Med
