Western Snowberry vs Smooth SumacSymphoricarpus occidentalis Rhus glabra NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON (new stock expected: fall of 2021) NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON (new stock expected: fall of 2021) 
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.
Smooth Sumac is an excellent shrub for both its ornamental appeal and tolerance of difficult planting sites. You'll love the attractive pyramidal spikes of hairy, red berries that emerge on female plants and the fern-like foliage that covers both male and female varieties.
