    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Another Beautyberry from southern Japan that's good for the Southern US. (Japan obviously cornered the market on Beautyberries!) Very rare, seen only at places like Dawes Arboretum and Raulston Arboretum. Pink flowers develop into lilac berries with medium-green leaves and arching branches. Unlike other Beautyberries that have clumps of berries at each leaf stem joint, Shikoku has berries that don't appear to be in round clumps but more at the stem ends. Reports on Dave's Garden that it's been grown in Zone 5A
