Nandina shrubs are still thriving in Daxing town, Linshu county, Linyi in East China's Shandong province, their red berries and green leaves adding a streak of color to the early winter landscape. Clusters of berries hang from the branch tips like strings of coral beads, deepening in color after frost, while the finely textured leaves that stay green through spring and summer take on a reddish tinge in autumn. Sunlight filtering through the foliage gives the berries a soft sheen, so that from a distance the plants look like scattered gems set in green cloud.
