The common snowberry (Symphoricarpos albus) is a deciduous shrub that produces pink flowers and white fruit. It's a great addition to many types of gardens and is a showy, globe shape for the landscape. Hearty and rather easy to care for, if you plant this shrub, birds are sure to come for a feast upon the drupes.The common snowberry will reach a mature size of 3- to 6-foot tall and wide, creating a rounded shape. A location with full sun to partial shade will provide the best growing conditions.
Favor rather sun-endowed spots, or with light shade, since snowberry is naturally found in forest underbrush.
This shrub likes to produce suckers and can become invasive. You will need to keep a close eye on it and remove them as they appear if you do not want it to spread.
All parts of this shrub are poisonous if they are eaten, so consider carefully if you have animals or small children living with you.
