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 in late summer or fall, when color is desperately needed in the garden. In a glorious display of golds and oranges, their attractive berries adorn their branches to the delight of gardeners and hungry birds.

Here is a list of shrubs and trees that will help you create beautiful fall-to-winter scenes and let you enjoy the end of the season in a beautiful new way. All these plants are cold-hardy, easy to grow, versatile, and of great appeal in other seasons, with their fall color, attractive flowers, or lush summer foliage.
