Dean, If you want to plant some more of these wonderful shrubs in your yard (as birds just happen to enjoy dining on the colorful fruit), Native Gardens in Greenback (http://www.native-gardens.com ) usually has some. You might give owner Meredith Clebsch a call....they specialize in plants for wildlife habitat and have a great selection to choose from. They're also holding their Fall Open Nursery this week through Saturday so it's a great time to go out and have a look-see. Another local source is Sunlight Gardens in Andersonville(http://www.sunlightgardens.com). Between these two terrific native plant nurseries your yard could be bustin' out with Hearts-a-Bustin'!
