Mystery Tree in Winter



This deciduous tree really stands out in fall and winter with its reddish-orange persistent berries. Hardy to USDA Zone 3, it grows 20-40' tall.
Birds love the berries. It sports white blossoms in spring, yellow orange fall color and has few pest issues. Older trees can sometimes appear gnarly. Can be spotted on Simpson Ave in Bend.

Nice Blog Chris! Fun. You'll have to teach me how to do this sometime. Oh... the mystery tree looks like European Mtn. Ash. Good game! THanks.
