Great plant! Love those berries. Here in my Z5a Ohio garden callicarpa sometimes suffers winter die back depending on the severity of the winter. I prune the dead branches to the ground and it grows to about full size the same season.

Callicarpa dichotoma 'Issai' KOREAN BEAUTYBERRY Dec (z5) (Cut,B&W,Bon)
New from Japan, this outstanding compact rounded 3-4'selection is especially striking when covered with a showy crop of lilac-violet fruits, even at a young age ('Issai'means "fruiting at a young age"). S-PSh/Med

One difference I notice between this cultivar and the original "Callicarpa dichotoma" is that the leaves are much more elongated and elliptical. The fruits look very similar in placement and color.
