Beauty Berry leaves are a natural mosquito repellent! The Seminole Indians them crushed them and rubbed the oils on every exposed skin surface. And it actually Works! With these caveats. 1. It doesn't last long. You have to keep rubbing them on. 2. I found it difficult to extract the oils to make a spray. Lots of recipes on the web. 3. They have tiny hairs that might irritate the skin. Anyway, I'm propagating multiple bushes along the pathway of my small homestead.

These are native in Georgia. I have admired these lovely plants all my life. However I was taught they were poison to humans and most people I knew treated them as weeds. Well here I am at 66 years old learning other people admire and grow these "weeds" thanks to the www.

I just discovered these in my back yard! I've been looking around for this fruit for a long while. And to my surprise, I look in my back yard and see the beautiful bundles of purple berries! Of course I had to harvest some. I want to start a garden to attract more birds... Unfortunately I don't think my neighbors will approve of this after a while

You can combine different native plants along with habitat providing shrubs and simple water features such as bird baths to give your feathered friends an inviting environment without irritating the neighbors.

I planted 1 bare root in central NC. For about 3 years it did nothing. Now, it is 5 or 6 years old and at least 8 feet tall. It is competing with some other shrubs that got bigger than I expected, which may account for the height. Each fall, it is covered with beautiful berries. They don't seem high up on the list for my wild life (who have lots of options on my property), so I was wondering if I could find ways to eat them.

Steam juicing the berries makes a fantastic juice for making jelly and syrup. I've had it daily for breakfast over yogurt for almost 20 years. I adore the slightly honey flavour and especially the color in my yogurt.

Any news yet on getting a wine recipe for these? I've made jelly and love it, but they do lose a lot of their beautiful color when they are cooked down into juice. I am hoping that mashing them with sugar to draw out the juice and not introducing heat will help keep the bright magenta. Can't wait for the update!

I bought some of these seeds online from a small business called PottedGem and I'm so excited to plant them for all of their wonderful purposes I can use them for, as well as all of the local wildlife to eat right in my yard! I live next to lots of wooded areas so I'm hoping to spread these wonderful plants far and wide in my area which they're native to. Shockingly I've never seen them before around here! (I live in south Missouri, super close to Arkansas, so it's native)

A family member has grown a well established beautyberry plant in a large pot, been in there for few years, and gave it to me. When I brought it home...few days later the leaves all turned brown :( It was perfectly fine, beautiful green leaves 🍃 & the bright 💜 purple berries. Any ideas what caused the leaves to turn brown...what can I do to bring it back to life? TIA ☺

What a gorgeous addition to a garden or food forest! What are the lowest temperatures this plant will be able to survive in during winter?
@PlantLifeYT
@PlantLifeYT 3 года назад
It can be found as far North as Maryland and is listed as both cold and heat tolerant. It is rated for USDA zones 7 - 11. There is another variety that is rated for zone 5.

Hello. I planted from seed last summer and they are just now popping up. They look too small (maybe 1 inch) to plant. Can I keep them alive inside this winter? Or should I plant them and see what happens?

It depends on your particular area. If you normally get frost then bringing them inside might be the best option.

This plant is distributed throughout the southeastern United States from Texas and Oklahoma east to Maryland. Zones 6-10. So if you are farther North this might not be the best choice.

Could I plant the seeds without “seed rinsing”? I did that in my blender but I think I chopped up the seeds too. 😮
@PlantLifeYT
@PlantLifeYT 2 года назад
Chopped seeds don't tend to sprout well as they are damaged. Seed rinsing aids in limiting mold as mold spores can inhibit sprouting as well.
@hosta127
@hosta127 2 года назад
@@PlantLifeYT thank you. My question was, can I just plant the berry with the seed still in it and will the seed sprout?
@PlantLifeYT
@PlantLifeYT Год назад
It is possible. Nature would have a bird or other animal eat that berry and then "deposit" it to grow. This would naturally create an environment that would keep mold at bay and have plenty of material for the seedling to grow in. As mentioned before, using the whole berry does increase the potential for mold.
