Re: [cayugabirds-l] Bird attractor tree recommendations UPDATE

2016-06-05 Thread Sandy Wold 
Thanks for all of the great advice everyone!  I just have time and room in
my small yard for two trees!  I mainly wanted a short list of trees to give
to the City and unfortunately don't have time to read the great readings
out there.

Update:  I have received two recommendations for native trees that will attract 
birds...would love to have more to add to a list to possibly give to the City 
of Ithaca forester and nurseries..., not sure if she has a list or what her 
list is...  has the CBC ever offered a "recommended" list?  It's one thing to 
go to a nursery and buy a proclaimed "bird attractor" bush or tree, but I'd 
prefer a list of birder-proclaimed native trees.  By the way, I bought a 
"native butterfly bush" from a reputable nursery and later learned the one I 
bought was considered "invasive" and controversial by some.

Here is a start:

Serviceberry, Amelancier arborea, white flowers spring, orange/gold fall, 30 
ft. after 20 years, purchased at Dickman's in Auburn

Chokecherry Canada Red, Prunus virginiana, 15 ft. after 3 years, purchased at 
Agway


Does anyone know anything about the Chanticleer Pear, Pyrus calleryana tree? 
native or non-native?  It flowers and holds small fruits thru winter, 25-35ft x 
15-25ft

It's one thing to go to a nursery and buy a proclaimed "bird attractor"
bush or tree, but I'd prefer a list of birder-proclaimed native trees.  By
