| Care | Pearl Glam beautyberry does not need a pollinator to set fruit; one plant is sufficient for a good crop. Plant may experience some dieback each year in colder zones, but it will resprout from the ground and still flower and fruit that year. |
| Soil | Beautyberry shrubs prefer friable soil (soil with a crumbly texture) that's rich in organic matter and has good drainage. And they prefer a slightly acidic to neutral soil pH. This mimics the forest floor where they naturally grow. However, they can tolerate most soil types, including clay soil, except soil that's severely lacking in nutrients. |
| Temperature and Humidity | Beautyberry shrubs thrive throughout their hardiness zones and don't have any particular temperature or humidity requirements. They do have good heat tolerance as long as their moisture needs are met. |
| Fertilizer | These shrubs generally do not need fertilizer unless you have very nutrient-poor soil. A shovelful or two of compost in the spring can benefit beautyberry's growth. But too much fertilizer can result in decreased berry production. |
| Pruning | Prune, if desired, in early spring, and remove any dead wood at that point as well. |
| Overwintering | Outside of potentially pruning your shrub close to the ground, no special treatment for the winter is typically necessary. But you can add a layer of mulch around the base of your shrub to help keep the roots at a consistent temperature. |
