Shrub, deciduous, this photo taken November 19 in Burnaby BC (Pacific Northwest). Originally had little white flowers which resembled snowberry, but instead of white berries, has these weird pink berries? I have a creeping snowberry in the garden, but the birds ate all the berries of that plant; whereas it is January now and this plant still has its weird pink berries. ID please?
Another in the same genus. There is a species called coral-berry that is pink but garden selections of snow-berry come in pink also.
It looks very much like Chenault coralberry Symphoricarpos × chenaultii 'Hancock' https://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/73030/Symphoricarpos-x-chenaultii-Hancock/Details
I am willing to agree with you Axel, but am curious what makes you think that it is rather S. x doorenbosii cultivar instead of S. x chenaultii?
Yes RonB. Yes Axel. This variety here might be Symphoricarpos doorenbosii 'Taiga'. Dear Sundrop, it´s the varying fruit shape, what makes me feel certain. And the color change is an ultimate proof.
The colour of the fruit is too uniform for it to be S. x chenaultii. There are a lot of 'Hancock' specimens planted around here and the fruits always remain notably speckled upon closer inspection. 'Taiga' is a cultivar with lighter pink berries, however there are many new selections of S. x doorenbosii that it becomes hard to identify a specimen down to cultivar.
