Shrubs with Berries and berrying shrubs

Berries and berrying shrubs are often scoffed at by gardeners, as well as being scoffed by birds! As can be seen in the images, berrying shrubs can add a range of colours to the winter garden, often from mid august through until February or March. It is interesting to note that most shrubs with berries, have a prolonged flowering period - as well as berries.
