Common Snowberry vs Wild PrivetSymphoricarpos albus Ligustrum vulgare COMING SOON (new stock expected: later this season) NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON
Common Snowberry is a small deciduous shrub with characteristic white to pink flowers and clusters of white fruit.
Wild Privet is a fast growing ornamental shrub that is well suited for forming hedges and privacy screens. It will retain its leaves in warmer climates but drops them in colder areas. They have small white flowers, though the smell is often considered unpleasant. While the berries are inedible, they are a good food source for many bird species.
