Orange Bamboo Nandina……AKA: Gulf Stream Heavenly Bamboo

WOULD LIKE TO KNOW OF IT’S OK TO CUT OFF THE BERRIES THIS SHRUB PRODUCES. I DO LIKE THE BERRIES, BUT, I UNDERSTAND, THERE SHOULD BE THE BEST TIME TO CUT THEM OFF. I WAS TOLD THEY PRODUCE SEEDLINGS THAT FALL TO THE GROUND, AND, I WOULD LIKE TO PREVENT THIS BEFORE THEY PRODUCE SEEDLINGS. SINCE I HAVE SIX OF THESE SHRUBS, IT’S A LOT OF MAINTENANCE TO REMOVE LOADS OF SEEDLINGS FROM THE GROUND. PLEASE LET ME KNOW THE BEST & SAFE TIME TO PRUNE THEM OFF? YOUR PROMPT RESPONSE WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANK YOU!
