Snowball Viburnum is a popular ornamental shrub with prolific flowering. This plant is prized for its round clusters of white flowers that resemble snowballs, delighting children and adults. In fall, its leaves turn vibrant shades of red.

Snowball Viburnum is sought after as a single accent shrub, but can also make a dense hedge or privacy screen.

The Harcourt apple is a cold hardy apple produced by the University of Alberta. The fruit is good for fresh eating or baking, and ripens in late August.
