Callicarpa americana var. albifructa is believed to be a mutation of the purple berried variety. Notice that the clusters of white berries have much fewer berries than the purple ones. The white berries are also about twice the size of the purple ones. Both the purple and white berried Beautyberry have white or pale pink/lavender flowers and the unripe berries are green

This variety has white berries instead of the vibrant purple ones. This is a very fast grower. Prune in winter. It has long slender arching branches. Lovely form.
