American beautyberry is Missouri native, and is  a wonderful, large understory  shrub with a naturally loose and graceful arching form. In the fall and early winter, the branches are laden with magenta purple (sometimes white)  berry clusters that look spectacular as the leaves drop in autumn. It is useful as a food source for pollinators. It can be cut to 12" above the base each winter to encourage more compact growth, flowers and fruit. It can also be left to mature naturally into a tall woody shrub.  Perennial in Zones 6-7.
