Hello All=2C
I have a small ornimental shrub in front of my house. It's common
name is Boxwood. I trim it to a circular shape less that a meter
in circumferance. This plant has small oval green leaves=2C a multitude
of shape thorns=2C produces pretty small pink flowers in the fall which
produce a bright red berry which stays on the bush all winter long.
I have often wondered=2C in the depths of winter=2C why the birds have
not been attracted. Today=2C a mob of fifteen cedar waxwings arrived
and took ever berry within minutes.=20
My question is=2C is this berry unpalitable to birds unless ever other=20
source food is depleated=2C or does it take months of freeze/thaw
cycle for this berry to be mature and be tasty for the birds?
Suggestions welcomed.
