Callicarpa dichotoma f. albifructa is a small, compact, rounded, deciduous shrub, primarily grown for its eye-catching display of pure white berries in fall. Unlike most Beautyberries which boast purple berries, this variety is noted for its unusual white fruits.
This picture, taken at the entrance to the Community Building on the Medford Campus, shows both the white beautyberry and the traditional purple berry shrub. The berries will be a feast for the birds later this year.
