Snowberrys are interesting shrubs often found in
mountainous areas, such as the
Sierras. These plants are charactarized by smooth rounded leaves and berries which are bright white. They can be rather tall shrubs, but are often
groundcovers. This plant is
deciduous, but after the leaves fall the plant often still holds many of the white berries. They are somewhat lobed, so that they sometimes look like white
pumpkins.
This is a very interesting shrub, one which could be used a lot more in horticulture. It is tolerant of cold and fairly dry conditions.
