A snowberry is a native North American deciduous shrub (Symphoricarpos albus) from the honeysuckle family, known for its clusters of bright white, berry-like fruits that persist into winter, offering beauty and wildlife food, though the berries are mildly toxic to humans but not most birds or animals. It's a hardy, adaptable plant, often found in woodlands and dry slopes, providing shelter and nectar for pollinators, with delicate pink flowers in summer.
