American beauty-berry most often grows 3-5 ft. tall and usually just as wide. It has long, arching branches and yellow-green fall foliage, but its most striking feature is the clusters of glossy, iridescent-purple fruit (sometimes white). The flowers are small, pink, in dense clusters at the bases of the leaves. Fruit distinctly colored, rose pink or lavender pink, berry like in clusters, persisting after the leaves have fallen. The seeds and berries are important foods for many species of birds, particularly the Northern Bobwhite. Foliage is a favorite of White-tailed Deer.
