Re: Nandina domestica - Sacred Bamboo


I'm not Art, but when it suckers and makes offsets, they are not right at
the base of the parent plant, but a bit farther away; what I mean, is they
aren't part of the tight group of stems that form the parent plant, so, if
I read your message right, what you're looking at is the parent plant, not
offsets.  

Whatever you sever must have a decent set of roots attached.
