White Snowberry

bare-root plants

Symphoricarpos albus 5-6' × same. Also called Common Snowberry or Waxberry. Broad rounded arching spreading wildlife shrub. Inconspicuous pinkish flowers in late spring, followed by plump whitish insipid berries. More palatable cooked, but still better for the birds who will gobble them up. Leaves, roots and bark all medicinal. Ripple-edged foliage of muted multi-shaded blues and greens. Quite beautiful all season. Excellent for holding soil on a steep shady moist bank while providing good wildlife cover and forage. Will spread with age and eventually form colonies. Easy to transplant, adaptable to most soils, sun or shade, even clay and city conditions. Drought tolerant. Self-fertile. Native to eastern U.S. Z3. (1-3' bare-root plants) BACK!

As Green’s Nursery catalog from 1904 explains, “There are many trees that by pruning can be made to resemble shrubs, and many shrubs that by different pruning may be made to produce medium-sized trees.”
