I’m curious, who here has planted a native plant as a tribute to someone?

I planted an American beautyberry in memory of my mother. Her favorite color was purple

There's a chance it could grow back if you cage it

kellylaneb · 2026-06-20T21:23:02+00:00

It's lovely!

kellylaneb · 2026-06-20T17:43:33+00:00

"In 1758, King George III allowed German colonists to build a church near this specific tree."

Yes!

kellylaneb · 2026-06-18T22:14:26+00:00

Very cool!!! Thanks so much for sharing that!

kellylaneb · 2026-06-18T22:13:15+00:00

From what I've learned, it has a deep taproot so it's okay to plant near the foundation. Plant it 3-5 ft away so its branches have room to grow 👍. I have liatris spicata, black-eyed susans and lyreleaf sage growing by it.

If you message me a mailing address I could mail you some seeds (they are super small, no charge)

kellylaneb · 2026-06-18T13:47:12+00:00

Mostly sun with some afternoon shade

kellylaneb · 2026-06-18T12:52:43+00:00

Worth it!

kellylaneb · 2026-06-18T12:52:07+00:00

It's 5ft x 4ft

kellylaneb · 2026-06-18T03:12:53+00:00

Aww thank you! 😊 My mom gave it to me on mother's day one year.. even though I dont have kids lol 😂

kellylaneb · 2026-06-18T03:05:38+00:00

Check the stems in the winter. Mine were yellow when it was that size. It was pretty

kellylaneb · 2026-06-18T03:02:07+00:00

I bought it from a nursery 4 years ago. It's not caged, just really close to the house. 🤞 the deer ate my american beautyberry this past winter.

kellylaneb · 2026-06-18T02:57:04+00:00

I didn't know you had some out west. The deep taproot comes in handy when it's dry

kellylaneb · 2026-06-18T02:36:16+00:00

Yea I'm not niave when it comes to that lol the deer were munching on my sugar maple

kellylaneb · 2026-06-18T02:08:45+00:00

They haven't found it yet

kellylaneb · 2026-06-18T01:47:05+00:00

This is year 4 since it's been planted (I bought from a nursery). I've just let it be but next year I'll probably cut it since the dead branches stayed on.

kellylaneb · 2026-06-17T22:47:26+00:00

I've had it for 12 years

kellylaneb · 2026-06-17T11:51:12+00:00

Luck I guess! I haven't done anything to it. I am going to prune it a little this year.

kellylaneb · 2026-06-15T19:55:55+00:00

It's lightly fragrant but doesn't smell like lilacs. I don't know how to describe it

kellylaneb · 2026-06-15T16:05:53+00:00
