Roundleaf Snowberry
Symphoricarpos rotundifolius
  
About Roundleaf Snowberry (Symphoricarpos rotundifolius) 2 Nurseries Carry This Plant Symphoricarpos rotundifolius is a North American subshrub in the Honeysuckle Family, also known by the common name round-leaved snowberry. Older woody parts are covered in shreddy bark and smaller, newer twigs are coated in fuzzy hairs. The species epithet, rotundifolia ("round leaved") is slightly misleading, since the 1-4 to 3-4 inch (0. 6 to 1. 9 cm) leaves are oval to elliptic, not perfectly circular. Leaves are green above, and pale green with many veins below. Inflorescence and fruit. The inflorescence is a raceme emerging from the leaf axils with one or two pendant flowers having narrowly bell-shaped, pink to white corollas up to 1 cm (0. 4 inch) with a lobed mouth. The fruit is a white berry-like drupe about a centimeter (0. 4 inch) wide, containing two seeds. The genus name means "fruits together", referring to flowers and fruits usually occurring in pairs. It flowers from June to August.
