Common Snowberry vs Japanese QuinceSymphoricarpos albus Chaenomeles japonica SOLD OUT SOLD OUT 
Common Snowberry is a small deciduous shrub with characteristic white to pink flowers and clusters of white fruit.
Japanese Quince has bright, orange to red showy flowers that bloom in early spring. The flowers appear before the leaves and may continue to bloom after leaves emerge. Flowers grow on old wood, so pruning after flowering will help to promote new growth next spring. They produce yellow-green fruit that taste bitter when eaten raw, typically they are better suited for making preserves. COMMON SNOWBERRY QUICK FACTSJAPANESE QUINCE QUICK FACTS
