Common Snowberry 20 - 100 - 500 Seeds Wax Berry Ornamental Shrub Forage
A sparsely branched hollow-stemmed beautiful shrub related to the honeysuckle that is 2-5 ft. tall, & gradually forming a thicket 4-6 ft. wide. Once popular in old-fashioned dooryard gardens.
Used ornamentally for its winter berries and for erosion control, while Native Americans historically used its saponin-rich berries and roots for natural soap and shampoo, eyewashes, and teas for various issues, for making brooms and even stunning fish for harvest, though berries are toxic in large amounts and not for general consumption.
The shrub is an important food source for various animals such as bighorn sheep, white-tailed deer, and grizzly bears. Livestock like cattle and sheep also readily browse on it. Many birds and small mammals use it for food and cover.
