Snowberry bushes make an attractive informal hedge when planted in a row, 4 to 5 feet apart.
Snowberry bush (Symphoricarpos albus) is a medium-size ornamental shrub best known for brilliant white berries that emerge from September to November.
Oval, blue-green leaves dot snowberry branches in spring and summer, and its overall shape is loose and open when left alone.
Depending on the cultivar, snowberry can grow slowly to a height and spread of 4 to 8 feet. Prune snowberry for shape or rejuvenation in early spring, before new growth begins.
Clean pruning shear blades before use to prevent problems in pruning wounds.
Dip them in boiling water for 30 seconds or wipe with a clean cloth and rubbing alcohol to kill insects, spores and bacteria that may be present.
examine what's left after removing the dead wood. If what remains is sparse, prune for rejuvenation. Cut all the branches back to 6 inches from the ground
