Now Forage

The fruits are produced in abundant clusters usually in late summer through fall. The fruit is a berry-like drupe circling the stems. The bright lavender-pink, magenta, violet, or rarely white, color is a distinguishing feature of Beautyberry. Fruits are edible but not very palatable. Some use it as jelly or preserve. http://lee.ifas.ufl.edu/Hort/GardenPubsAZ/Beautyberry.pdf
