Cedar Waxwings, and MOuntain Ash Trees ?


Wanted,,, Mountain Ash tree and or seeds,,,
We had this tree as a baby , and very young child,, it grew so pretty and in the winter all winter had lots of lovely colored berries that only the Cedar Waxwings came and ate from ,, they stayed as long as we had berries,,
when we moved away, never saw that tree again or any like it or the seeds,, or even the Cedar Waxwings themselves,, I would love to start this tree out front by the road and enjoy the birds in the front,, again,, does anyone have any seeds and or any cuttings or roots,, or know what or how to do this pretty, and hard to find tree,, I lived then in Michigan and still do... any help advice , or seeds,, or knowledge,, is greatly appreciated,, blessings,, beth

Beth we have an Ash tree, let me see if any of the berries have dropped. I've always wanted to see cedar waxwings but haven't been so lucky.

They are a plague when they come through central texas. Clouds of them. They Shit everywhere if they like your area. Not as bad as grackles cause those buggers don't migrate somewhere else. Most people around here don't like cedar wax wings much. So far they stay away from my piece of heaven.

Me to. Do they flock at night to an area of town and have a huge nesting block size sopt that looks like the movie Birds. They do that in Austin in several areas of town. They don't like it out here in the hills. Not enough food and water for them to survive. They stay in town.

Beth I snagged some of the berries for you. I'll mail them out Monday. Hopefully they'll come up for you.
