Beautyberry

[JudyB]

Since yesterday and I don't know. I traded one of big trees for it, my wonderful Red Beech, it made giving up that nice tree less painful, as it's an amazing tree. And they are so scarce that I feel pretty darn lucky!

I have some small 6" pot I believe Japanese Beautyberry raw stock. I only have 5-6 for sale and they'd be $35 plus shipping. The Japanese beautyberry has much smaller foliage and fruit than the American version which grows wild in many southern states. I'll post a picture tomorrow but now they're dormant so they don't look like much.

Just in case you have any left, I would like one.

Right now Woodlanders has 9 cultivars of Beauty berry. Several area C. americana, but they have 4 other species too. Including C. dicomata 'Issai'

Thanks, but I'll wait for C. japonicus.

I just found a bunch of American Beatyberries in the roots of my oak trees. Dug some up and hoping they recover in pots.

Great! Just keep in mind the American beautyberries are larger, so you should develop them into a larger specimen.

I have Japanese beauty berry rooted cuttings from last year.

I have Japanese beauty berry rooted cuttings from last year.

One of my first cuttings. Braided together, mostly fused, and looking awesome in this Koyo pot!

I am going to braid more of the shoots off the base to make the trunk bigger, and bigger.

It was a pretty amazing plant This is not the one at the GSBF show (I didn't take any photos of it) but a different beautyberry - but you can tell how striking it can be.

With cold weather arriving I am on a winter fruiting tree bender
