Many trees and shrubs brighten the winter landscape with their fruit. The autumn olive (Elaeagnus umbellatus) and the possum haw (Ilex decidua) have a show of red fruit throughout much of the winter. The autumn olive has silvery red fruit. The possum haw is heavily covered with large red fruit about the size of cherries. The Washington hawthorn (Crataegus phaenopyrum) has an abundance of clusters of shiny red fruit. The Lalandei firethorn (Pyracantha coccinea ‘Lalandei’) is one of the hardiest and showiest of the firethoms, with scarlet-red fruit covering the shrub well into January.

attract birds
In addition to adding color to the winter landscape, these fruited trees and shrubs attract birds for your winter pleasure. If you have a flowering dogwood within your view, you must have a variety of birds. Records show that 85 kinds of birds prefer the shiny refl dogwood berries to all other berries. The autumn olive’s silvery red fruit is enjoyed by at least 25 species
