Bright red berries visible on bush during Autumn in NYS #130844646
Description
Large red berries adorn bushes in the FingerLakes region of NYS every fall. Possibly Winterberry. Florists often use winterberry for floral arrangements and those who enjoy winter crafts use it for wreaths and window boxes. Birds such as robins, cardinals, grouse, bluebirds, thrushes, waxwings, white-throated sparrows, northern flickers and grey catbirds feast on winterberries. Sometimes even a black bear or white-tailed deer will nibble on them. Beneficial insects like our native bees and flies go to winterberry flowers for food and pollinate the plants in return.
