Berries! For year-round interest in the garden, shrubs and trees that bare fruit are always a good idea.

Left: Beautyberry is a nondescript shrub until late summer, it’s worth the wait when its tiny pinkish flowers morph into traffic-stopping clusters of small, purple berries. C. bodinieri, beloved of British gardeners. Zones 5-8, though C. americana stretches from Zones 6 to 10.

Right: Mountain Ash, underused as a landscape plant, deserve a closer look for fruit, flowers and blazing fall color. Fruits of most species are orange or red, but some are white (Sorbus hupehensis). Here, the pink-blushed pearls of S. hupehensis ‘Rosea’ are set against its burgundy autumn foliage. Most species are hardy in Zones 4-7. Photos by Marianne Majerus.
