Staghorn Sumac vs Western SnowberryRhus typhina Symphoricarpus occidentalis SOLD OUT NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON (new stock expected: fall of 2020) 
Staghorn Sumac is a popular ornamental shrub with red velvet like antlers that produce seeds that provide nice winter interest for landscapers and gardeners.
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.
