Re: [cobirds] Tree Species That Are Beneficial to Birds

We have mountain ash that we planted more than 25 years ago. I don't know about attracting insects, but it produces abundant berries every year. These berries become edible to birds in late winter when food is really needed. Great tree for birds and it is adapted to snowy climates. It handles heavy snow very well.

I'd like it also to be somewhat resilient with regard to late or early snows, although I know very few trees are completely OK in this regard. I live in east Denver. Does anyone have recommendations?
