Pruning Nandina domestica (Heavenly Bamboo)

It is easy to prune heavenly bamboo. There is a group of cane-type plants that are pruned in the same way. Select some of the oldest canes and cut to the ground. New canes will develop. I limit this pruning to one third of the canes. This photo shows three of the regular Nandina domestica after cutting canes to the ground.

You can also prune canes part way, which will cause them to branch, if this is the type of shaping you desire.
