Americanbeautyberriesproduce large clusters of purple berries, which birds and deer eat, thus distributing the seeds. The raw berries, while palatably sweet, are suitable for human consumption only in small amounts, because they areastringent. Some people have reported mild stomach cramps after consumption. The berries are also used injelliesand wine. The roots are used to make herbal tea. As a folk remedy it has been claimed that "fresh, crushed leaves of American beautyberry,Callicarpa americana... helped keep biting insects away from animals such as horses and mules". Achemical compoundisolated from the plant,callicarpenal, was effective as amosquitorepellent in a laboratory experiment using a simulated skin model. The berries ripen in September through October and are a favorite among wild bird species including cardinals, mockingbirds, finches, woodpeckers and more. Beautyberry is commonly planted in landscape designs to attract wildlife because of the food source the berries provide and the cover animals get from the shrub itself. Propagation can be accomplished by making traditional cuttings; or germinating fully ripened (purple) seeds in pots or growing flats; or by scattering seeds on bare ground in a suitable area and lightly covering them or stepping on them to gently press them into the soil.
