Re: American beautyberry

interesting is right.  Many natve plants have other uses, although many of
them are not known or used.Of course, that means companies wouldn't make their

now that there is a use for it, probably won't make my winter.... border line
hardy here...

American beautyberry leaves to repel biting bugs--may help repel not

mosquitoes but also disease-spreading ticks. (1/26)
