Oh man.....Want 100? Come dig them up, to me they are simply a weed. I would not imagine they would be too difficult to start given the 100's that pop up on my ground every year.

I don't know about propogating, I just find small plants around the mother plant and transplant them. But there's a native nursery in Arcadia that sells 1 gal beautyberry (and lots of other cool stuff) for $2. Good luck!

fagopher, you've made me very happy! I want to grow a long row of Purple Pride or Purple Pearl Beautyberry but the cost is prohibitive. I'm definitely going to get a few and try propagation!

I have one behind my garage. I didn't plant it, had to have been birds.
