What is "snowberry"?
Snowberry is a small, round fruit that grows on shrubs belonging to the genus Symphoricarpos. These berries are characterized by their white color and waxy appearance, which gives them a snow-like appearance. However, it's important to note that snowberries are generally considered inedible and are primarily used for decorative purposes due to their bitter taste and potentially toxic properties. While they may add visual interest to floral arrangements and winter landscapes, they are not commonly consumed as a food source.
Examples
1. I admired the delicate beauty of the snowberries, but I knew not to eat them as they are not edible.
2. The children were fascinated by the small, white snowberries growing on the bushes.
