Trees:

• Birds love evergreens as they provide shelter during cold, windy winters, and some varieties also offer berries.
• The Crabapple tree explodes with prolific pink and white blooms in the spring and offers berries in shades of mouthwatering mango and crimson for birds throughout the winter.
• The Flowering Dogwood is covered in light pink or white blooms in spring, and the leaves change to hues of pink, red and purple in fall. Berries are a favorite for the bluebird.

Shrubs:

• The Winterberry’s leaves drop away in winter and reveal brilliant tides of scarlet berries that last until spring. Because most plants lose their berries by late winter, this is a lean time for birds, making the Winterberry a welcome treat for them.
• A wide variety of Viburnums offer lovely, fragrant flowers and stunning fall foliage. The plant’s colorful fruit appeal to birds and other wildlife.
• Winter King Hawthorn brightens the winter landscape with interesting bark and persistent fruit, attracting birds throughout the year.
