Question
Hello, I'm in SE Mass. Swansea. My first query is about the tree in bloom. Birds love the red berries in fall. The other tree has very few leaves, very old. Not sure if it's native.
Answer
Dear Butterfly, the shrub with white flowers is Lonicera maackii (Amur honeysuckle), a non-native shrub that can be very invasive in regions of North America. It is unfortunate because it is very beautiful. I can't help you with the tree because the photograph is too far away. If you can take a close-up of the leaves, bark, etc., I may be able to help you. Best wishes.
