Highbush Cranberry vs Western SnowberryViburnum trilobum Symphoricarpus occidentalis SOLD OUT NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON (new stock expected: fall of 2021) 
Highbush Cranberry produces attractive white flowers in late June and bears edible fruit that matures to a bright red colour in the late summer.
Like the Common Snowberry, the Western Snowberry is a small shrub with pink flowers useful for feeding livestock and preventing erosion. Unlike the common species, however, the Western Snowberry is much more suited to wet conditions, capable of persevering through poor soil drainage and occasional flooding.
