It's one thing to go to a nursery and buy a proclaimed "bird attractor" bush or tree, but I'd prefer a list of birder-proclaimed native trees. By the way, I bought a "native butterfly bush" from a reputable nursery and later learned the one I bought was considered "invasive" and controversial by some. Here is a start: Serviceberry, Amelancier arborea, white flowers spring, orange/gold fall, 30 ft. after 20 years, purchased at Dickman's in Auburn Chokecherry Canada Red, Prunus virginiana, 15 ft. after 3 years, purchased at Agway Does anyone know anything about the Chanticleer Pear, Pyrus calleryana tree? native or non-native? It flowers and holds small fruits thru winter, 25-35ft x 15-25ft -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: Welcome and Basics<http://www.northeastbirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME> Rules and Information<http://www.northeastbirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES> Subscribe, Configuration and Leave<http://www.northeastbirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm> Archives: The Mail Archive<http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html> Surfbirds<http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds> BirdingOnThe.Net<http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html> Please submit your observations to eBird<http://ebird.org/content/ebird/>! -- -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
