Snowberries

August 17, 2011 by Barb 14 Comments

I discovered these unbelievably white berries on a bush in my back yard. After some research I found out that they are snowberries. The snowberry (Symphoricarpos albus) is a common, native shrub growing in much of North America. Long after the leaves drop off in the autumn the hearty, white berries remain on the branches, serving as a vital source of food for birds, deer and other animals in the winter months. It would NOT be for human consumption!

    The loops look great with the round shape of the berries!

    I found your lovely blog while surfing around on my Saturday :) I just took a photo of these white berries and wondered the same thing, thanks for the info. I love how you embellished the shot, especially the graphic swirls.

    I don’t see any snow berries growing in my yard. I want to grow them now.
