White-Fruited Beautyberry
Callicarpa dichotoma 'Albifructus'
Pickup available at Aiken Nursery
Usually ready in 2-4 days
The white-fruited form of the Asian beautyberry, Callicarpa dichotoma 'Albifructus' is a quiet pleasure of the late-summer border: instead of the usual magenta, the arching stems hang with luminous, ivory-white berries in elegant clusters, cool and refined where the purple kinds are bold. Native to eastern Asia, in Korea, China, and Japan, the white beautyberry is smaller and more graceful than the American species, and all the more striking for the restraint.
Dainty pink-lilac flowers open along the stems in summer, an understated prelude to the pearl-drop fruit that follows, and birds work the white berries in late fall once they have had their season of show. A graceful, three-to-five-foot shrub for a woodland garden, a cottage border, or a soft, ghostly hedge.
Use white beautyberry massed for a luminous late-season effect, or set beside the purple-fruited beautyberries for a striking contrast. Like the rest of the genus, the white beautyberry fruits on the current year's growth, so a hard cut in late winter keeps the shrub compact and heavy with berries. Easy, adaptable, and cold-hardy to zone 5.

From rooting to shipping, our top priority is ensuring you receive healthy, thriving plants for your garden’s success.
Because most of our plants are grown from rooted cuttings — alongside seed, air layering, and grafting chosen for each variety — you receive a stronger, true-to-type plant that establishes quickly in your garden.
Raised on organic soil blends and eco-friendly pest management — never harsh chemicals — your plant arrives healthy for your garden, your family, and the pollinators they feed.
Every purchase gives back. We donate to the Aiken Arboretum and support local wildlife conservation, so growing your garden helps protect the wider ecosystem too.
All our plant material is carefully propagated, grown, and nurtured at our humble nursery in Aiken, South Carolina.
Your plant arrives carefully packed and ready to settle in. Unpack them promptly, give them a day or two to acclimate, then plant following the notes we include — that’s all it takes. Clear care guidance comes with every order, so success is the easy part.
What to expect upon delivery
All our plants are sold in 1-gallon sizes, though the height of each plant can vary depending on its growth rate and seasonality, typically ranging from 1/2 to 2.5 feet.
Each plant is carefully packaged with its roots enclosed in a secure plastic bag containing moist soil, forming a compact root ball. To ensure safe transport, the box is padded with recycled newspaper, providing both stability and eco-friendly protection from weather during shipping.
