Wildlife & Ecological Notes
A native species with excellent wildlife value. Small white flowers in spring attract bees and other pollinators. Red berries in autumn and winter provide a critical food source for thrushes, blackbirds, redwings, and fieldfares. As a self-fertile cultivar, 'Pyramidalis' reliably produces berries without a male pollinator nearby. The dense evergreen crown provides excellent shelter and nesting cover for garden birds.
