Callicarpa dichotoma is a deciduous shrub that is native to China, Korea, and Japan. It can grow up to 10 feet (3 meters) tall and wide, with a rounded shape and arching branches. The leaves are ovate and serrated, with a dark green color that turns yellow in the fall. The flowers are small and pinkish-purple, blooming in late summer to early fall. The fruit is a cluster of shiny, bright purple berries that persist into winter, making it a popular choice for winter interest in the garden.
