Prune Like a Pro: Beautyberry 

Featuring: Marsha Lehman
Available on YouTube now

If you want a native beautyberry,  be sure to buy Callicarpa americana, as there are non-native varieties on the market (e.g., Callicarpa japonica).  The video and handout will teach you how to tell the difference.

Pruning a beautyberry is an annual task, as the plant is a cane shrub that grows quickly.  Pruning is easy, once you decide if you will do the 1/3 removal process or the renovation/renewal process.  Both are demonstrated in the video.
