American Beautyberry (Callicarpa Americana) is also known a "French Mulberry." I have seen them so labeled at nurseries.

Hi all,
Fallout conditions produced good birding in the rainy conditions here along the coast. At about 10 a., m. a beauty berry bush laden with ripe berries became full of migrants, just about 15 ft from the house. In ONE BUSH we had 4 species of thrushes, mostly Swainson's plus Rose-breasted and Blue Grosbeaks, Catbirds and R E Vireos! Mostly coming and going from one bush! About 25 individual birds. Native vegetation does the trick! Only one B & W Warbler and Redstart.
Good Birding,
Bob DuncanGulf Breeze
