Nandina domestica, also known as heavenly bamboo or sacred bamboo, is an evergreen shrub native to eastern Asia. Its delicate compound leaves start off reddish and later turn blue-green, and it produces attractive white flowers in panicles atop the stems, followed by bright red berries. This variant grows up to 8 feet tall and is the only member of its monotypic genus. While it is not clear what type of fire regimes sacred bamboo is best adapted to, its population density and structure vary from infrequent to scattered, with some high-density populations noted in early introduction sites in northern Florida. The use of prescribed fire may be an effective control method for sacred bamboo populations. However, careful monitoring and follow-up is necessary to reduce the likelihood of postfire establishment and spread.
