I'm in zone 5 and need to find some shrubs for a shady area beneath oak
trees.  The ground is pretty much clay and they would get little direct
sun.  I can build up an area around the base of the shrub which would be
better soil but the roots would likely still be in the clay.  I would
also like these shrubs to have berries appetizing to birds and to be
native to my area (Illinois/Midwest).  Not too much to ask, right?  Any
help would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
