Description Fine Print
 
Symphoricarpos albus, the common snowberry, is a lovely BC native shrub with upright to arching stems of opposite deciduous leaves tipped with small pink flowers that are followed in summer and fall with clusters of pure ivory white berries. Though poisonous to humans they are browsed by birds and other wildlife. They make a beautiful effect in the garden. Var. laevigatus is our western form of this North American species that grows larger with larger fruit compared with the eastern var. albus. A suckering shrub good for erosion control.
