These shrubs are everywhere up here, coming up wild, not sure if they are native shrubs, I have seen people planting them as hedges. The berries are so beautiful and the birds love them. On this particular bush the leaves haven't turned yet because we really haven't had below 32 degree temps YET! Here it is Oct. 20th! Very unusual weather for this part of th country. Usually the leaves turn an orange color. Sometimes the berries are still on the shrubs when we get our first snow, when and if we DO get snow, I will try and get of shot of these beautiful red berries against the white of the snow.
