Looking to attract birds to my property with American beautyberry. Has anyone successfully propagated this plant from cuttings, or did you buy established plants from a nursery?

Nice plant - bought mine at a wholesale nursery as 1 gallon container plants several years ago - probably 6 to 8 ft tall now; never tried to propagate but should be easy to do according to this article (end of article). LINK

I never knew that was what this was called. Not what we call em out in the woods, which I cant recall right now, but it aint beautyberry.

I find it attracts more birds in late fall/winter. The purple berries are nice addition to color in the yard. They aren’t the prettiest bushes for landscaping so I always tucked them away in the corner. You can get young trees pretty cheap from the annual tree sale put in by the Missouri Department of Conservation.

There is a guy in Lafayette that has many small beauty berry plants for sale. Few bucks each. From cuttings. I think they were purple not white. Let me know if you want his info and I will find it.
