Best Trees and Shrubs for the Bird Garden Part 2

(Zone 5a)

Quote from birder17 :
We have a winterberry that has been loaded with berries all fall and winter. Evidently the birds don't care for this one!


I have a coralberry that appears to have the same problem. Kind of disappointed, but it's native so I'll keep it. Maybe it will attract some insects. I got it sometime last summer, so have not had it for a year.

I think you all will find that the level of bird preference for any one species can vary from year to year - and especially if the birds that love that species of plant are not frequenting your property. Meanwhile, enjoy the characteristics that humans appreciate.

Plant it - and they will come...

Yes, we have enjoyed it very much. I've also had a few passer bys ask what the shrub is.
