Nursery Mystery Game

As landscape designers, we're always 'plant watching' around town. It's a little like being a bird watcher. Trees, shrubs or flowers seem to catch our eyes for one reason or another at different seasons and we just NEED to know more about their identities. So here's a way for everyone to play along. We'll post some clues on one day and supply the answer in the following days. We'll try to identify Central Oregon plants that are currently showing off around town. Add a comment if you want to guess the answer!

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.
