Re: Nandina domestica

Gene, do your research by all means and please share with me. I know
nothing about CVs or sources, but will try any Nandina that berries (the
berries are my favorite part). According to the big USDA map, I'm just
barely in 6, here in the southern part of Monroe County. You are
DEFINITELY in 6. We should be able to grow these in a protected spot,
although they won't necessarily survive forever. When I was a young naive
gardener I once attempted Nandina (a plant I had carried home on my lap on
the plane from LA) and it didn't survive the winter, but I think that was
because I planted it on the SOUTH side of the house. Now I know enough to
try the east side. Unfortunately, it is VERY shady there and rather
crowded.

I think I read that one needs multiple Nandinas to get good berrying. A
single shrub is unlikely to berry. Can anyone confirm that?
