Newport News VA: this is an incredible shrub, planted in partial sun. When visiting Nags Head area small Nursery/garden center a few year...Read Mores ago, I fell in love with this as I had never seen a white Beauty Berry, but hesitated buying it, saying "I don't really need it"..."my purple one has been in our yard awhile but isn't thriving"..."it's silly to buy it and have to take it a couple hundred miles home when we pack up to go"...my friend who was with me could tell how much I really loved it so she suggested I get it in honor of my son who had passed away from a brain tumor a couple summers before. That convinced me. It has flourished and grown to 8 ft. or more, made several babies which have been given away and one is at our vets' in honor of our wonderful dog Brubeck (some of his ashes in the soil) who was great friends with our son. With its arching/weeping branches, it makes the most gorgeous backdrop to a mixed bed along driveway especially when loaded with its beautiful white berries.. It fits very nicely with the look we have which is no lawn, all garden, natural looking both front and back yards. I would definitely recommend this shrub! So glad my friend convinced me to get it as a wonderful reminder of our loving son.
