Spicebush, Thrushes and Foraging

Показать описание
Spicebush, Lindera benzoin, is a beautiful and useful native shrub. It flowers early in the season, offering resources for pollinators, while the leaves offer food for caterpillars and the fruits offer food for many birds, especially Swainsons thrushes. If you want to use these fruits be mindful of where you harvest them. These are a crucial resource for migrating birds. Why not grow your own? 😄💚🌎

I love spice bush here in Australia. Mine is tiny compared to yours! Well done!

Have you propagated Spicebush from stems? I would like to try it so I can have male and female shrubs to sell in my new shady natives nursery. Any tips?
