Its probably “nandina” aka “heavenly bamboo” (nandina domestica). Its a very nice, evergreen landscape shrub for warmer climates (zone 6+) that resembles a small bamboo plant. The have reddish leaves when they get enough sun, small sprays of white flowers that become bunches of red berries that birds will eat. The species form hits about 6 feet tall and dwarf forms about 18 inches. There are quite a few cultivars of heights in between.
