[QUOTE="Hunter 257W, post: 3065957, member: 12277"] Regarding the American Beautyberry, I am looking at The Wildlife Group's catalog and they say, "Grows well under pine forest. More dense and fruitful in full sun." Sounds like they will grow respectably with or without full sun. I planted several of the Strawberry Bush's 2 years ago without cages. Sure enough, just like I had been warned, deer were quickly eating the entire plant. I put cages around them and solved that problem. The deer eat anything that pokes out...or that their thin noses can reach through and grab. The catalog states this about the Strawberry Bush and sunlight - "Does well in partial shade on edge of woodlines." That describes where I planted mine exactly. Along a tall fencerow. I have no idea if deer would like the American Beautyberry this well but apparently between the two plants the Beautyberry would be the best choice if planting in mature woods with little sunlight - at least from a successful growth standpoint.
