Beautyberry is a loose open shrub valued for its spectacular fruits which attract birds. The relatively insignificant flowers develop into prolific bright violet to magenta berry-like drupes which encircle the stem. These fruits remain attractive for a long time although they are generally gone before severe winter weather.
