Juneberries are beautiful. They're hard to find out here in California, but they do well. The birds often get the berries, I think, so people don't know how good they are. ryan’s last blog post..California Peony

That's an interesting dilemma. It is an enchanting spot the way it is. Whatever you decide to do, it will be beautiful. Mr. McGregor's Daughter’s last blog post..Beauty & the Barrel

We do have deer, Bonnie, but we also have coyotes and hunters. Also, living in a rural area, the deer have a lot more room to range. The Juneberries are all over the place. Why would deer come near to the house to nibble when there’s plenty to eat with more cover?

I call those Serviceberry and I love them!! Blogged about them a lot. How is it that you don't have deer nipping your plants to death??? Do you have big dogs? What is your secret? The deer here just love to nip, nip, nip at the tips and blossoms on all my Junies, it makes me so mad! I have some fenced off now, which seems so silly for tough native plants. Maybe it's the relative novelty of them here. I'm surrounded by tree farms and the biodiversity is low-ish. Bonnie Story’s last blog post..Variegated Salal!

Lovely place to look out and in. I'm loving them around us, too. They were introduced to me as Serviceberry, but I like the sound of Juneberry more. Lynn’s last blog post..not a fence-jumping Beagle

Why change the view? Enjoy it when nature lets you see it, distant in winter and nearer in summer. We try to bend nature too much to suit ourselves and should be grateful for what we have. Your views are especially magnificent – thank you for sharing them with us.

The berries are edible to birds and people, and they do ripen in June.

Beautiful little trees and they do look especially lovely in bloom, but the berries and then the fall foliage are nice, too! I like your Juneberry Room! gail Gail’s last blog post..Finding The Joy In C&L Mudville*
