Utah Snowberry (Symphoricarpos oreophilus var. utahensis) is an attractive, upright, thicket-forming shrub. It is one of the first native species to leaf out in the spring and features pinkish-white bell-shaped flowers in the summer. These flowers are followed by the small white berries the plant is named for. These berries remain on the bush throughout the rest of the summer and fall. They are not toxic, but do not have edible value and are best left on the bush for aesthetic appeal.  Use in shrub borders, woodland or shade gardens (especially as an understory plant), or the back of a garden bed. It can also be used as a hedge, privacy screen, or erosion control on slopes or banks. Snowberry is tolerant of urban pollution.
