If we want berries in our yards, why not plant arrowwood (Viburnum dentatum), elderberry (Sambucus canadensis), alternate-leaf dogwood (Cornus alternifolia), Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia), spicebush (Lindera benzoin), red or black chokeberry (Aronia species), winterberry (Ilex verticillata), various native hawthorns (Crataegus species), or red cedar (Juniperus virginiana)? What do we think the birds were eating before we took it upon ourselves to plant what they “need”?
Exactly! Mother nature has always known what's best for them.
