***************
I have Symphorocarpus Alba (the White Snowberry), In mostly shade in my
garden.  It needs to have a little age before it produces blooms(and
berries).  You should know that the fruit is toxic to humans.  I have had no
trouble keeping the plant "in place" .  It has been there for thirty years.
