How to identify Common snowberry (Symphoricarpos albus)
Common snowberry, also known as Snowberry bush
Common snowberry is distinguished by its striking clusters of snow-white berries, each approximately 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) in diameter. The plant typically exhibits a dense, bushy form, reaching heights of 2 to 5 feet (60 to 150 cm) and spreading equally wide. Its small, oval-shaped leaves are arranged oppositely along arching stems, and the foliage can turn yellow-green in fall. During spring and summer, common snowberry produces small, inconspicuous pinkish to white flowers that subsequently give way to its characteristic white fruit.
Snow-white berries, 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) diameter.
Oppositely arranged oval leaves, yellow-green in fall.
Pinkish-white tubular flowers in clustered leaf axils.
Distinctive white berries with green to white color transition.
Erect stems, hairy texture, up to 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) diameter.
The leaves of common snowberry are dark green and measure between 2-4 inches (5-10 cm) in length. They have a smooth, unbroken margin and exhibit a dull texture. The leaf shape is typically simple and broad, with a gently rounded or oval appearance. The veining pattern is subtle and not easily distinguishable, contributing to the simplistic yet distinct look of the foliage characteristic of common snowberry.
Common snowberry flowers are small, pinkish-white blooms that form in clusters in the leaf axils on new growth. Each flower measures approximately 0.3 inches (8 mm) across and consists of five petals, which are fused at the base, giving the blooms a tubular appearance. The flowering period typically occurs from late spring to midsummer. While not particularly fragrant, these flowers attract various pollinators, making them an important part of the ecosystem.
The stems of common snowberry are erect, hollow, and covered in fine hairs. They can be either solitary or multiple, depending on the plant. Near the base, the stems measure up to 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) in diameter. The texture is notably hairy and also contributes to its unique identification. These characteristics make the stem of common snowberry stand out among other plants.
The fruit of common snowberry is characterized by its distinctive round berries that initially display a green hue. As the season progresses and the fruit reaches maturity, it transitions to a stark white color, making it quite noticeable. Each berry encapsulates two small nutlets within its interior. These nutlets represent the seed-bearing aspect of the fruit. To achieve a full and bountiful fruiting, a location receiving full sunlight is recommended. The textural surface of the fruit, coupled with its color transformation and inherent nutlets, is essential for accurate identification.
Gardenia jasminoides is an evergreen shrub with unique, glossy evergreen leaves and stunning flowers. The sophisticated, matte white flowers are often used in bouquets. The exceptional beauty of this ornamental plant has made it a popular and highly appreciated plant amongst gardeners and horticulturalists.
The golden pothos (Epipremnum aureum) is a popular houseplant that is commonly seen in Australia, Asia, and the West Indies. It goes by many nicknames, including "devil's ivy", because it is so hard to kill and can even grow in low light conditions. Golden pothos has poisonous sap, so it should be kept away from pets and children.
Solanum lycopersicum is an annual or perennial herbaceous vine native to Central and South America that produces a large, juicy, edible fruit known as tomato. Today there are over 10000 cultivated varieties. Although tomato is the world’s most popular vegetable, botanically it is a fruit.
The pepper are commonly used for cooking in places such as the Southern U.S. and Central America. Most are moderately spicy, though because there are so many variants, the spice level can vary dramatically. Cayenne powder is also a popular seasoning product made from pepper plants.
The swiss cheese plant (Monstera deliciosa) produces bright, glossy leaves and makes a popular houseplant. It is originally native to tropical forest regions in Central America. The nickname swiss cheese plant refers to the small holes that develop in the plant's leaves. The long fruits resemble corncobs and smell sweet and fragrant when ripe.
The bigleaf hydrangea is a deciduous shrub native to Japan, and is known for its lush, oval, colorful inflorescence. The two types of Hydrangea macrophylla are mopheads - with large, ball-shaped, sterile flower clusters, and lace capes - with small round fertile flowers in the center, and sterile flowers on the outer side of each inflorescence. Depending on soil pH, blooms can change color from pink to blue.
