Sun? Shade? Wet locations? Dry locations? Woodland? etc....

You may wish to give some details about where you are thinking on growing native plants. That will help people to answer your question.

Of course "best" is always subjective and varies from person to person. Twenty different people will give twenty different answers. If you are looking for something in particular, you may wish to say.

The Serviceberry tree is a small one, with dangling white inflorescences in spring. It produces berries that look a bit like blueberries, but darker, and the birds love them. Elderberry bushes produce a berry that birds also love--but they reseed quite readily, depending on where you plant them. They can be rather gangly looking unless they get full sun.
