Learn About Your New Prunus snofozam - Showy Snow Gooseberry
Prunus snofozam, commonly called Showy Snow Gooseberry, looks excellent when used as a hedge or screen, providing year-round structure with its dense growth habit. This deciduous shrub grows 6–8 feet tall and offers eye-catching white flowers in early spring, creating a fresh, vibrant display. Its edible blue fruit ripens in late summer, attracting birds and adding ecological value to your garden.
The foliage turns a beautiful yellow in autumn, adding seasonal interest. Prunus snofozam thrives in full sun to partial shade and adapts well to various soils, including clay. For a layered garden effect, it pairs well when underplanted with low-growing groundcovers or shade-tolerant perennials, enhancing both visual appeal and habitat diversity.

Post Planting Care
When planting a new tree or shrub, proper watering is essential to ensure healthy establishment and long-term growth. Follow these guidelines to give your plant the best start:
- Immediately After Planting:
Water generously right after planting to settle the soil around the roots and eliminate air pockets. This helps the roots make good contact with the soil. - First Three Months (Establishment Phase):
The initial three months are critical for root development. Water deeply twice daily (morning and evening) to encourage strong, deep root growth. - Irrigation Systems:
If using an irrigation system, adjust it to provide adequate water during the establishment phase. Ensure the water reaches the root zone without overwatering. - Weather Considerations:
Adjust watering based on weather conditions. Increase frequency during hot, dry periods and reduce it during cooler, wetter seasons. - Ongoing Care:
After the establishment phase (3 months), gradually reduce watering frequency but ensure the plant receives consistent moisture, especially during dry spells.
