About This Product

Symphoricarpos x Chenaultii Hedging

Delivered by Mail Order Direct from our Nursery with a Year Guarantee

Symphoricarpos chenaultii , Snowberry, is a vigorous, medium sized, deciduous hedging shrub, although it's "semi-evergreen-ish" in warmer, sheltered areas in the South.

It's good for bushy, informal hedges up to about 2.5 metres, spreading up 3 metres across when grown freely as a specimen bush.

See our selection of native hedging plants or view our full range of hedging.

Symphoricarpos hedge plants are only delivered bareroot, during winter (Nov-March).
All our hedge plants are measured by their height in centimetres above the ground (the roots aren't measured).

The Pink Snowberry is a vigorous, medium sized, deciduous hedging shrub. It forms dense thickets without any attention and so its often planted to provide cover for game and other wildlife. The white flowers are abundant in summer and ripen into plentiful pink berries. These aren't of much interest to birds, so they decorate the slender, arching branches until the winter frosts. The berries are edible, but they don't have much flavour and eating too many may give you an upset stomach.

History & Trivia

This hybrid was identified by Alfred Rehder (1863-1949) at Harvard University's Arnold Arboretum, and subsequently sold by French nurseryman, Monsieur le Chevalier Léon Chenault (1853–1930) of Orléans, France, in 1912.

The parent species are the hardy Symphoricarpos orbiculatus, whose native range in the eastern United States is separate from that of the prettier Mexican Symphoricarpos microphyllus.
