Many years ago when I started my garden redo I decided that the first things i needed where the to put in a massive shrub border that would eventally run the entire south section of my property line and then tie into a not as wide shrub border to run along the east side. I ended up with lots of things that produce berries to attract backyard songbirds. I wanted to attract them. So I have things that I just consider "bird fruit". However, I did find that many edibles for us people where just as good for attracting our featured friends. Serviceberries and Blueberries are a good example.
Besides I wanted fruits that I would like to eat. So in went the red currants, blackberries and cherries. I tried raspberries but those never did work out well for me and after a while I ended up taking them out again.
