the cedars are back!!! Well these aren't them but the American Robins like these berries as well;) Hope to post a few more soon.
The tree is a "Winter King Hawthorn - Crataegus viridis". I've had my eye on these this winter, I've been thinking about getting some in hopes of attracting the Cedars from the activity I saw last year. I had been a bit disappointed until now, I hadn't seen much going on at all even though they were "full" of red beautiful berries "all" winter long, just gorgeous. Maybe the "mild winter had something to do with it but between the cedar waxwings and the American Robins they are now almost completely gone in just two to three days!! I think I'll be looking into these wonderful trees again. We have quite a few here at the hospital and so far they are very manageable, about 8 feet tall with a nice arching spread of about the same and full of berries over the winter! They also have a nice "exfoliating" bark.
