Bearberry vs Western SnowberryArctostaphylos uva-ursi Symphoricarpus occidentalis NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON (new stock expected: fall of 2021) 
Bearberry is a dwarf shrub known for its creamy pink flowers and red edible fruits.
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.
