berries on nandina domestica?
My local garden centre says that nandina domestica will produce a good show of red berries for Christmas. According to books, it only produce berries after a very warm summer.....so I'm wondering if urglers have seen one with berries in the UK, and whereabouts? Janet |

Must be more too it. No idea, Bob. We'll keep a closer look out this year. We sell them, so you'd think they'd cross pollinate but apparently not. There's also a very mature one in the prop. house but that has no berries, either. Interestingly, we saw hedges of them in California in autumn but those had no berries, either. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove the weeds to email me) |

I think I've solved the mystery, though I haven't been out to check on ours yet. The variety 'Nana' doesn't berry as freely, if at all and I suspect that's what we've got.

Well the one I planted was certainly taller when I planted it than "Nana" is supposed to get so that may well explain it. You need to be careful with your choice of variety then Janet. Looks like "Richmond" is a good one from that site you gave us Sacha. -- Regards Bob Use a useful Screen Saver... http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/ and find intelligent life amongst the stars |
