This paper concerns the asymptotic behavior of solutions to a semilinear parabolic equation with boundary degeneracy. It is proved that for the problem in a bounded domain with a homogeneous boundary condition, there exist both nontrivial global and blowing-up solutions if the degeneracy is not strong, while the nontrivial solution must blow up in a finite time if the degeneracy is strong enough. For the problem in an unbounded domain, blowing-up theorems of Fujita type are established and the critical Fujita exponent is finite in the not strong degeneracy case, while infinite in the other case. Furthermore, the behavior of solutions at the degenerate point is studied, and it is shown that for the nontrivial initial datum vanishing at the degenerate point, the solution always vanishes at the degenerate point if the degeneracy is strong enough, while never if it is not.
