Beautyberry is relatively maintenance free and grows
easily in full sun or light, dappled shade in a variety
of soils. Old wood should be pruned heavily in late fall
to early spring since flowers and fruit are produced on
new growth. Its ease of maintenance and popularity with birds makes American Beautyberry especially useful for the naturalized garden where it blends in well with pines, oaks, and darker-leafed shrubs. Allowed plenty of room for this large, sprawling shrub unless regular pruning can be provided to control its size. The thinning-type pruning method works best for American Beautyberry since regular shearing removes flowers and developing fruits. |
