Coralberry

/ˈkɔrəl ˌbɛri/ noun

Definition

A shrub that produces small, round, coral-colored berries, common in gardens and wild areas across temperate regions.

Etymology

Compound from 'coral' (the reddish-orange color) + 'berry.' Named directly for its most distinctive feature—the color and shape of its fruit.

Kelly Says

The scientific name is Symphoricarpos, but 'coralberry' is so much better because it literally looks like tiny pieces of coral hanging from a bush!
