Western Snowberry vs WinterberrySymphoricarpus occidentalis Ilex verticillata NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON (new stock expected: fall of 2021) ONLY AVAILABLE BY CONTRACT GROW 
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.
Winterberry is a small shrub that produces large quantities of bright red berries that remain on the plant through the fall and into the winter. Adding this shrub to your yard will give it a unique splash of color and attract birds, especially after the leaves drop. WESTERN SNOWBERRY QUICK FACTSWINTERBERRY QUICK FACTS
