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, a multitude of shape thorns, 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, in the depths of winter, why the birds have not been attracted. Today, a mob of fifteen cedar waxwings arrived and took ever berry within minutes.=20 My question is, is this berry unpalitable to birds unless ever = other=20 source food is depleated, or does it take months of freeze/thaw cycle for this berry to be mature and be tasty for the birds? Suggestions welcomed. Dennis Hippern (DHH) Cole Harbour =20 =20 -------------------------------------------------------------------------= ----- Stay in touch.
