Western Snowberry vs Boston IvySymphoricarpus occidentalis Parthenocissus tricuspidata SOLD OUT (new stock expected: fall of 2020) SOLD OUT 
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.
Boston Ivy is an elegant, climbing vine that is often seen as a decorative addition to the sides of buildings. Unlike other climbing vines, this vine does not need a support to grow on. Instead, it clings to surfaces with holdfasts located at the tendril ends. WESTERN SNOWBERRY QUICK FACTSBOSTON IVY QUICK FACTS
