Beautyberry bushes certainly live up to their name, thanks to their striking clusters of purple or white berries throughout fall and winter. The shrubs are low maintenance, though regular pruning will maintain their performance of dazzling fruits year after year.
Prune beautyberry bushes in late winter or early spring to encourage new wood to carry that year’s flowers and fruits. Whether you prune gently or hard, doing so at the right time keeps shrubs healthy and produces berries, which, as well as being stunning, are a food source for wildlife in winter.
