Callicarpa

It's lovely. I've been meaning to get one but not sure about it. How big does it get please …

hi 3d, I bought 1 of these exactly a year ago, and was quite small, and hasn't put on much growth this year, but it did flower, and has produced berries, but nowhere near as many as yours, so I was just wondering how long you've had yours, [mine was a 3 litre pot from Coblands], Derek.

It is quite amazing, 3d. The colour seems unnatural
.

That is looking amazing Dawn, so many berries!

Thank you Hywel it can grow to 3m Hywel in the USA it said it can fully grow to 9ft but have read to cut and tidy up after berries have gone and to keep it small.

I ve not had this long Derek bought it at the local garden centre it likes well drain soil loam and to be planted in the light. I hope yours improves in time.

Thank you Linda lol yes it does seem un natural the colour here reading up on it it derives from the USA so may be it s natural there to be seen.

Thank you Janey yes lots of berries going to check now if they are the seeds lol.

Hi 3d, I have it in the right conditions, maybe it's the difference in temperature, mine is a very exposed garden in the pennines, so a lot cooler than where you are, should be better next year, Derek.

Thanks for the link I've saved it on my favs x

Your very welcome Hywel 😊 x

Thank you Paul lol they should be ready to buy now at garden centres Paul.

Stunning coloured berries.

Thank you Siris
😊 nice to see in this dull weather.

I hope it improves next year for you Derekm yes it can become quite cold and very windy up there on the Pennines as my daughter lives on the Pennine way.
