Beautyberry from Pam in South Carolina

Posted on |

This stem came from a shrub on my property in gray court, sc, in a completely shaded area

Hi Pam,

this shrub is called a beautyberry – perhaps for good reason.  Its scientific name is Callicarpa americana.  It is native, and also often planted for its colorful berries.

Sincerely,

Steve Hill, Botanist, SCNPS
