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. While berries are mostly produced in fiery colors ranging from red to orange, yellow, blue, and even purple, white is rare among berries. Several white-berried plant species and varieties are available whose marble-sized fruits show up well against a background of dark evergreens. Adding ornamental interest to the late-season garden, most will remain in winter, providing gardeners, birds, and wildlife with holiday cheer.

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, too, with their fall color, attractive flowers or lush summer foliage.
