Native Woody Plants Providing Fruit for Native Wildlife Birds fatten up on the nutrients in fruits to fuel their fall migration journey and survive winter weather when other resources decline. Woody plants also provide cover from predators, roosting shelter, and year-round landscape benefits for you! Fall is a good time to plant new trees and shrubs, since the roots gain a few weeks of growth before cold weather sets in. Learn about these native plants from Martha Holzheuer, Nature Niche owner, certified landscape ecologist, and Jeanne Henderson, interpretive naturalist, Mid-Mitten Chapter President.
