Here's a short list to get your started:

Aronia brilliantissima - red chokeberry
Aronia arbutifolia - black chokeberry
Ilex verticillata (female) - Winterberry Holly
Viburnum trilobum - American or European Cranberry
Viburnum (can't remember variety)- Arrowwood
Viburnum (can't remember variety)- Mohican
Viburnum (can't remember variety)- Lantana
Viburnum (can't remember variety)- Praganese

Actually, there are 40 of 49 varieties of Viburnum which carry berries through the fall and winter. All are excellent.

There are more, but IMO, these are the more prolific and best to go with.

Thanks. I appreciate the info. Typically, I'm not that fond of shrubbery, other than rosebushes preferring grasses and flowers, but I know the birds like the shrubbery, particularly the berry bearing stuff. I also have a couple of areas where I'd like to do some planting for privacy, and to create a better view.

Hello friends,

I am late to the thread, but I love gardening. I do have a question to ask: this past Saturday, I planted seeds for wildflowers. I live in Zone 9. Have you any idea how long before bloom? I did read that germination is in 10-14 days. THanks for your thoughts!
