If anybody wants to come to Richmond, you can have my two landscape Beautyberries... They're really in the way and take up space in the only prime full sun area in my yard, I take a reciprocating saw to them a couple times a year 
but they keep bouncing back

I think @Don Blackmond had one for sale a while ago. Might be worth checking with him as well. Maybe he would give some instruction on using them for bonsai?

Like I said small raw stock. They were about 18-24" before we cut them back to create one trunk line but these will be several years before they amount to much. They all flowered and put on fruit. Actually $35 is a little steep so I think it'll be $25 each plus shipping. These 6 are all that are available at the moment.

Looks like something you should stock as seedlings.... I would pick up some seedlings of this.

I agree, reading that link that BNut posted, a Dutch selection, Callicarpa bodinieri var. giraldii ‘Profusion’ scored high due to a "tidy" growth habit, heavy, reliable, long-lasting fruiting and nice flowers. You all think that would be a good choice? Or the japanese?

I would go with the smaller leaf, which is probably the Japanese one.

Because this is grown for the nursery trade, I think it is easier to get your hands on. Monrovia grows them - I just ordered one from my local nursery and it will be arriving in January.

The plants I saw in the nursery were clumps with skinny stems. Not sure you could get a single trunk out of the clump without damaging the plant. Bob's are very good, buy 'em up. Second choice I would try to get a little liner or tube like the plants sold by forestfarm.
Easy to grow and beautiful, trunks thicken very slowly, think small bonsai. Remove suckers.
I have Callicarpa dichotoma 'Early Amethyst.' This year I had fruit from end of August 'til Thanksgiving.

Sorry all available ones are sold. Thanks. The rest are going into the ground or bigger pots for development. The Japanese varieties have the smallest leaf and fruit size. By more than 50% of any other cultivars I’ve seen. The American native has leaves 3-4 times the size.

If anyone does wind up stocking seedlings of the Japanese variety, or knows of where I can get these come spring, please PM me, I will take a batch off your hands!
