The foliage naturally grows mainly at the top. Thus, if you
want a sheared, uniform hedge, nandina is not a good choice.
In my opinion, cutting the canes to different heights will
produce the most attractive result. When pruned this way,
foliage will fill in at the various levels, and the effect can
striking.

How to prune nandina (heavenly bamboo)?

Mine has a scrub shape but then there are a few new tender shoots
sticking out from the top, it looks non-uniform and ugly.
