Hi Tuma & All, Apr 16, 2010
I have noticed no response to this question so will give it a stab. =
The image seems consistent with Highbush Cranberry (Viburnum trilobum or =
perhaps V. opulus). If Viburnum, then the leaf scars should be =
opposite.

Subject: [NatureNS] Cedar Waxwings
Hello All,
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, 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.
