Elongated racemes or short clusters arise from snowberry's leaf axils or the tips of shoots. Each flower is about 8 mm long and 6 mm across with a dull green, hairless, tubular calyx, swollen near the base, with five shallow teeth; a bell-shaped, light pink or whitish pink corolla with five triangular lobes; five short stamens attached to the petals with tan anthers at the tip of the filament; and a light green ovary with a single style. Neither stamens nor style extend past the margin of the corolla. Long white hairs crisscross the open space inside the corolla. The fruit is a drupe (a stone fruit, like a cherry) 8-16 mm in diameter, bright white, and more or less spherical at maturity with a pair of nutlets inside.
