snowberry
Pale ornamental shrub
Snowberry is a shrub native to North America that produces small white berries in autumn, which persist through winter when little else is in fruit.
The berries are mildly toxic to humans but provide food for birds and wildlife.
Several species exist, with the common snowberry being the most widespread, often planted as ornamental hedging or for erosion control.
The name simply describes the berry's snow-white appearance.
