Burning Bush may have beautiful fall color, but it offers nothing for our migrating birds and has invaded our North American wild spaces! It’s time to start phasing these out of our gardens… and with so many native shrubs that have GORGEOUS fall color, we have a lot of replacement options!
Join me as we explore a rainbow of native shrubs that are both beautiful AND provide food and habitat for migrating and overwintering birds!
If you’re looking for information on removing invasive species, this video by Illinois Extension Forestry is a great resource!

I have watched dozens and dozens of native plant videos. Yours are by far the best, and that includes the videos from sizeable organizations, groups, universities, nurseries, and gardens. Yours are focused, packed with info, short, fun, and a pleasure to view.

What an amazing compliment - I can't tell you how much that means! Thank you so much for the support!

Prairie Moon Nursery is also a good resource for native plants. Worth checking out their selection.

Absolutely, I love them! I featured their site in a few other videos, their site is so well designed and chock full of information! They don’t seem to focus as much on shrubs, but they do have some! Serviceberries would be one they offer that have beautiful fall color! And they actually have a RU-vid channel too, but haven’t posted in a few years.

We really enjoy our chokeberry shrubs. The red color in fall is beautiful and unlike burning bush they are good for supporting our native insects. We also use the low mound chokeberry’s. They are perfect when you want a small plant. The do sucker as you said but easy to control and we pull many and just pot them up or transplant them.

@gardenforbirds 11 месяцев назад

I love a free plant! With the price of plants these days you need a few free transplants to get your moneys worth! My chokeberry is still a baby but I’m looking forward to it growing and taking up some more room!

Excellent videos, produced with skill seldom seen. I am going to look for an Arctic Fire dogwood next spring; am planting nannyberry shrubs this year, replacing a couple of lilacs in my Saskatoon (prairie Canada) yard. Thanks for sharing.

@gardenforbirds 11 месяцев назад

Those will all be beautiful! The dogwoods will be stunning in the snow, too! Thank you for all the kind words, it means a lot!

My highbush blueberry has beautiful red color, but sadly it's from suboptimal pH 😢 rather than the season haha. You guys have serviceberries too on the East Coast, right? They get pretty fall color as well, and I'm a fan of the berries too. Interesting about the beetle, my Ninebark (we have the Pacific Ninebark in our neck of the woods) got tons of beetles on the flowers when it bloomed for the first time this year. I wonder if they were ninebark specific beetles then too? INaturalist just said that it was some type of carpet beetle. Very pretty patterned brown & white backs, very small beetles that looked like they were eating pollen.

Oh yeah, pH is a tricky one - it's the main reason I haven't planted a blueberry yet myself. I have been thinking for a few years on where to put it that it would be happy, but I haven't given up yet! We do have serviceberries out here, too, and they are beautiful in the fall! I think mostly orange and red fall color - I'm hoping to do a dedicated episode on these! Not sure if you're in California, but I found this site that describes some of the different beetles in CA: www.insectidentification.org/insects-by-type-and-region.php?thisState=california&thisType=Beetle It does show a paler Caligraphy beetle, as well as some carpet beetles.

@Hayley-sl9lm 11 месяцев назад

@@gardenforbirds Oregon, but they definitely looked like the carpet beetles on that webpage. So not ninebark specific but UC Davis says that carpet beetle adults can be attracted to flowers that have "abundant pollen resources," so ninebark probably falls into that category. Beautiful flowers 🤩 omg they were so pretty

I’m scheming on where to put one 🥰
