Western Snowberry vs Bebbs WillowSymphoricarpus occidentalis Salix bebbiana SOLD OUT (new stock expected: fall of 2019) SOLD OUT (new stock expected: fall of 2019) 
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.
This large shrub is native to all of Canada and most of the United States. Its leaves are green on the top and grey on the bottom, and it produces catkin based flowers and non-edible fruit which appears very similar to a group of pine needles. WESTERN SNOWBERRY QUICK FACTSBEBBS WILLOW QUICK FACTS
