How to Select Healthy Common Snowberry？

When purchasing common snowberry, look for key indicators of health such as vibrant, green leaves without yellowing or browning. Ensure there are no visible pests or signs of pest damage, like holes in the leaves. Check for sturdy, upright stems and a well-balanced shape. The soil should be moist but not waterlogged, indicating proper care. Avoid plants with wilted leaves or an overall lackluster appearance. A vigorous, well-cared-for plant is likely to thrive once transplanted.
