Narrative
A conservation plant release (2004) by the USDA NRCS Bridger Plant Materials Center, Bridger, MT. Trapper Germplasm was selected for superior seedling survival and vigor for use in a variety of conservation applications. Represents genetics of 14 parent plants consisting of 5 seed sources from Montana and Wyoming. Fully adapted to USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 4a and has been observed growing in Zone 3a. Based on the species native range and sources of germplasm used for selection, Trapper snowberry should perform well in most of central and eastern Montana between elevations of 1,950 to 4,000 feet. In northwestern Montana, and eastern Wyoming, it should grow well at elevations between 7,525 to 9,900 feet. It should also perform well in western North Dakota and South Dakota at elevations between 800 to 1,800 feet and in northeastern Colorado at elevations between 3,500 to 8,500 feet. Western snowberry is a perennial, woody, deciduous shrub native to broad areas of the United States. It forms dense colonies or thickets from widely spreading roots and rhizomes. The species is an erect to semi-erect shrub that normally grows 2 to 4 feet tall. The average mature height under wildland conditions is 3 feet. Trapper Germplasm western snowberry reaches 5 feet in height within 6 to 8 years under cultivated conditions with supplemental moisture on productive sites. The fruit are greenish white to white drupes containing two white nutlets that ripen in the fall.
