Callicarpa dichotoma, and really every Callicarpa I have tried, are a slam dunk from cuttings. You can have a nice 1 gal in a season.

'Profusion' is an awkward creature with strange form, IMHO.

I prune mine this time of year. Then when the new growth is about 12" tall, I pinch back all of the shoots. That keeps it from "falling out" in the center.

My white beautyberry from seed seems to have made it through the winter in the cold frame...supposed to be true from seed 90% of the time....hoping for fruit and cuttings this year.
