Suggestions, please, for a shrub (whose berries will be left for birds
to eat), for a very small, shaded garden (not mine) in the Midlands. It
has heavy clay soil, waterlogged in winter (yes, it's a nightmare!).

Thank you.

There must be hundreds of hawthorn varieties that would do the trick it also
does well on clay soil. Monty Don was musing about topiary hawthorn the
other week...
