Trees and Shrubs with Colorful Fruit in Fall and Winter

The predominate colors of the home landscape in late fall and winter are white and various shades of gray and brown. An excellent way to brighten the drab winter landscape is to plant evergreens (pine, spruce, fir, etc.) and trees and shrubs that possess brightly colored fruit. Growing plants with colorful fruit not only provide interest in the garden during the cold late fall and winter, they can also support wildlife such as birds. The brightly colored fruit of many of the trees and shrubs will not remain throughout the entire winter.
