We've set a goal of recruiting 200 ongoing supporters to donate $15 or more each month in 2025. Please help us reach this goal and make next year's flora even better:
Symphoricarposorbiculatus Moench. Coralberry, Buckbrush. Phen: Late Jul-Sep; Sep-Nov (and often persisting well into winter). Hab: Moist to dry forests, woodlands, thickets, pastures, and old fields, especially over mafic or calcareous rocks. Dist: CT west to IN, MN, and CO, south to Panhandle FL, TX, and Mexico; the original native distribution somewhat uncertain due to cultivation and escapes. Seemingly increasing in VA and behaving aggressively in dry woodlands and barrens over greenstone and diabase.

Its flowers are followed by red to purplish-red berries that persist into the winter. Its berries are eaten by various birds including thrushes and grosbeaks. The foliage is tinged with red in the fall. Snowberry is a member of the honeysuckle family and spreads over time, eventually reaching 3 to 5 feet in height and 4 to 8 feet in width.
