Latin: Symphoricarpos albus

Zones: 3-8

Other common names: Common snowberry, Belluaine, Mountain Snowberry

Mature Height: 4 ft

Notes: Leaves are oval, 1-2 inches long, and autumn color is blueish green.  Fruit is 1/4 – 5/8 inches in diamter, and completely white.  Fruit holds throught the entire winter.  Often used to control soil erosion. White or pink blossoms between twigs come out during June and July. White berries, from where the shrub gets its name, follow the flowers and turn brown as they age. Snowberry is a source of food and shelter for several species of songbirds and small mammals. Eating the snowberries may cause diarrhea and vomiting.
