Love seeing native plants thrive in all seasons. Spicebush (I think?) at ease during a late fall snow (south central PA). These are all over my property organically, I haven’t planted any of these.
Beautiful scene & great shot of it. I would buy this painting!

Im always jealous of everyone’s winterberry bushes that have berries on them in the winter. It usually only takes 2 or 3 days for the robins to literally eat every berry. It is such a wonderful food source for migrating birds but I wish they would leave some for the resident birds. 😀

My app is identifying this as Lonicera maackii, the Amur honeysuckle, which is invasive. It’s not a detailed photo, so my app could easily be wrong. But if I were you, I would try to nail down your identification. One thing that jumps out at me is that you say they are growing everywhere (potentially invasive) and another thing is that it doesn’t look like anything is eating those lovely berries, which could be a sign of a non-native plant since your local critters might either not know what to do with it or it is poisonous to them.

Hello neighbor! We are getting a little snow here also. Lancaster Co.
I love your picture. I have spicebush here also but no berry’s. I have male and female bushes and they never seem to get fruit. You are lucky!
