Attracting Birds with Trees and Shrubs
Attracting birds to your yard is as easy as choosing the right trees and shrubs. Trees and shrubs offer birds a place to nest, rest and feed. Here are some suggestions.
Viburnums - Flowering Shrubs for the Landscape and the Birds
There are over 150 species of Viburnum. You can find a variety to suit any garden need: wet or dry, sun or shade, natural or formal, shrub or tree, native or exotic, USDA Zones 2-9.
Shrubs and Vines for Fall Color and Berries
Beautify and practicality can overlap when you choose shrubs and vines that turn wonderful fall shades of red and rust and offer ripening berries for the birds to enjoy.
Bearberry - Arctostaphylos Uva-Ursi
Bearberry is a short, wide evergreen shrub that is often used as a groundcover. It’s great for tough sites, like dry or salt exposed settings, and adds four seasons of interest with its fall color and winter persistent berries.
