Winter Garden, Early Spring Garden, Shrubs with berries, evergreen shrubs, Red berries, Purple Berries, Golden Berries, Winter Berrries

Winters may be long and cold, but your garden can allay that dreariness and be transformed into a place of natural beauty with visually arresting textures or colors. Some trees and shrubs display beautiful fruits in late summer or fall, which persist into winter. In a glorious display of crimson, orange, yellow, purple, or even white, their attractive berries adorn their branches in eye-catching bouquets, which gleam like jewels in the soft sunlight. If you wish to admire berries in the winter, select plants with fruits that the birds shun until spring.

Discover shrubs and trees that will help you create beautiful winter scenes and let you enjoy the winter season in a beautiful new way. In addition to providing a colorful display in the landscape, their fruits can be harvested for indoor arrangements or Christmas decor.

In a glorious display of crimson, scarlet, or vermilion, their branches are studded with jeweled clusters of berries.

Attractive Shrubs and Trees with Orange Fruits and Berries

When embroidered with their brilliant berries, some shrubs and trees produce a more colorful display in the late season garden, than in spring and summer with their own flowers. Loaded with fruit for weeks, they create a spectacular show that pleases the eye, and the birds too. Aside from the classic red berries or the vibrant purple ones, some bushes and trees display glowing orange fruits, when color is desperately needed in the garden.

Attractive Shrubs and Trees with Purple Fruits and Berries

Grabbing our attention with the unusual color of their berries, some trees and shrubs create a spectacular show of intense purple fruits in late summer or fall, when few other flowering shrubs offer color. In a terrific display of violet or amethyst, their attractive berries adorn their branches and become the highlight of the winter landscape.

Attractive Shrubs and Trees with White Fruits and Berries

As some plants owe their charm to spectacular flowers, handsome leaves or colorful fruits, others are valued for their quiet beauty, peeping out here and there in the fall and winter garden. White-berried plants fall into this last category. Adding ornamental interest to the late season garden, most will remain into the winter, providing gardeners, birds and wildlife with holiday cheer.
