Quick Overview:

Callicarpa dichotoma f. albifructa (sometimes called white beautyberry) features white berries. White beautyberry is a small, upright, rounded, deciduous shrub that typically grows to 3-4′ tall. Pale pink flowers bloom along the stems in early summer (June-August). Flowers are followed by white berries that ripen in fall. The berries are very attractive at the peak of ripeness (October), but quickly loses significant ornamental punch as they turn brown. Fruits are attractive to birds. Stems are clad with elliptic to ovate-elliptic, medium green leaves (to 3? long).

Description

Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Best flowering and fruiting is in full sun. Stems can become leggy in too much shade. Some tolerance for drought. Flowers bloom on new wood. Prune as needed in early spring. Most gardeners prefer to prune stems back to 6? in late winter to early spring each year. Such hard pruning tends to promote shrub compactness and good flowering. Best cross-pollination and resultant fruit production occur when shrubs are planted in groups or massed.
