Beautyberry (Callicarpa) Misidentified as Mulberry

A shrub with white blooms turning to yellow, lavender, then bright purple berries in stem-halo clusters, fuzzy stems, muted green leaves. Nursery insisted it was mulberry.

Expert Correction: This is Beautyberry (Callicarpa sp.), not mulberry. Mulberries have variable leaf shapes on same plant. Beautyberry fruit is edible (birds love it), toxicity reports are minimal. Enjoy the unique berries!
