Symphoricarpos albus

5-6' × same. Also called Common Snowberry or Waxberry.

Dainty bell-shaped white flowers with a splash of pink appear in late spring, followed by plump white berries and the birds who will gobble them up. Berries are not palatable for humans and could be toxic if ingested in large amounts. 

Ripple-edged leaves are an appealing rich blue-green. Broad rounded arching canes. 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. Zone 3.

Small Trees and Shrubs

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.”
