Callicarpa (beautyberry)

I have heard of propigating beauty berry via cuttings, has anyone tried it wth the berries? Thanks, Susie

I have hundreds of them in my yard, the birds do it for me. It is a beautiful plant when the berries are purple (then the birds eat them all).

Well at least I know it works, I'll try to get a few away from the birds (I've actually sprayed several plants with "Bitter Apple" and that seems to get them off) and give it a go. I'll keep you posted.

Any of those 'hundreds' of beauty berry plants available for trade or postage Ihughes???
I'd really really love a coulple (few) :-)

Sure, what'ya got? Some of mine are 2-4 ft tall and too big to ship, but there has to be some small ones out there.

closer, the birds just love them

IHughes I'll 'message' you with a short trade list.

IHughes, did you get my trade list I sent? Anything on it you'd be willing to trade for some of those Beauty Berry babies????

I looked around at the seedlings, and most of them are so big that I don't know if they would make it. There are still berries on some of the plants, would you be interested in them? I've never started them from seeds but it must be easy (judging from my yard).

Why not....I'd be happy to give some of the seeds/berries a try.
Was there anything on my seed list you want to trade for?

I'll get you something together. Maybe a few small plants if I can find something small enough and some berries. I'll take a look at your list, but my yard is pretty much packed. I keep making the beds larger and the lawn smaller. I'm about down to some green paths between the beds.
