Snowberry is closely related to Indiancurrant, or coralberry, but produces white fruits rather than red. The fruit is generally not held into winter, and is not as sought after by birds that is coralberry. Nonetheless, with its white fruits and preference to dry habitats can help add to the diversity of what is offered in your yard. Snowberry can tolerate full sun to full shade, and will grow in sandy soils as well as be able to withstand seasonal flooding.

| Drawdown Lakes |
Your local Department of Natural Resources (DNR) division of waters may be able to let you know which lake/marsh habitats are scheduled for drawdown. Drawdown wetlands often provide excellent shorebird watching opportunities. |
