It must be native and I would consider a hybrid even as long as both parent plants are native. Would prefer it to top out around 20' max. ]]> Woodies TimSaupe http://www.wildlifegardeners.org/forum/woodies/7022-need-suggestion.html Sycamore http://www.wildlifegardeners.org/forum/woodies/6942-sycamore.html Fri, 27 Aug 2010 19:07:49 GMT I was poking around the field today and looked up when I heard a hawk call. I'm glad I did because I saw the beautiful white bark of the sycamores. I should look up more often!

I'm battling oriental bittersweet and wineberry here--along with other non-berrying invasives, and I would be very happy if, once in a while I discovered that the birds are eating and spreading some of the native things I've planted.

Pulling up oriental bittersweet seedlings under the fence that borders a little group of winterberry (Ilex verticillata) is so disheartening!

I've got elderberry, inkberry, wax myrtle, winterberry and American beautyberry, and a couple blackhaw viburnum that haven't fruited yet.
What about chokeberry, beach plum, huckleberry/dangleberry, other native Viburnum, hackberry, hawthorne, etc.? I know they'll all feed the birds, but wonder which ones will reproduce themselves best.

What native shrubs do you all have that seem to be nicely dispersed by the birds and produce seedlings? ]]> Woodies Teresa http://www.wildlifegardeners.org/forum/woodies/6894-native-shrubs-seed-dispersal-birds.html How to stack wood the right way!! http://www.wildlifegardeners.org/forum/woodies/6797-how-stack-wood-right-way.html Thu, 12 Aug 2010 07:13:31 GMT You gotta see this. I'd like to know who took this photo and where they took it.
