Creeping Juniper vs Western SnowberryJuniperus horizontalis Symphoricarpus occidentalis ONLY AVAILABLE BY CONTRACT GROW NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON (new stock expected: fall of 2019) 
Creeping Juniper is a low maintenance, spreading, ground cover shrub capable of growing in some of the worst soil and rocky conditions.
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.
