I love this!! Black chokeberry has been the real standout in our young garden. It had one berry when we planted in the fall. Now there are about 8 clusters that the House Finches and Robins have started to pick at.

High hopes next year for nannyberry and serviceberry. Neither bloomed this year.

Thank you for this! I'm relatively new to native plants (4 years into planting a wildlife garden after many decades of gardening with non-natives) and am starting to make an effort to work more shrubs into my landscape. I have ninebark (I'm in love with this plant!), blueberry, a shrubby native honeysuckle (can't remember the name) viburnum, winterberry, lots of hydrangea. I'm aiming for more late season berry-bearers for the wild neighbors (we have a long winter in western Massachusetts).
