This viburnum shrub is dripping with luscious looking red fruit but so far, it remains uneaten. With the deep snow and severe cold of this harsh winter, animals are finding it very difficult to get food. Squirrels have it better than most as they can climb trees and reach the highest seeds. The manitoba maples will soon be depleted of seeds, and many of the crabapples, ignored earlier in the season, are now being consumed. In the Arboretum I counted 11 squirrels in one large crabapple tree which will soon be stripped of fruit. The nearby large old amur maple also held a half dozen squirrels, feeding on the last of the maple keys.
