Russian Almond vs Western SnowberryPrunus tenella Symphoricarpus occidentalis SOLD OUT NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON (new stock expected: fall of 2020) 
Russian Almond is a low maintenance, short, slightly suckering shrub. It is covered with attractive, bright pink flowers in early spring before its foliage emerges.
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.
