This Hancock Coralberry is a cultivar selected about 1940 from Hancock Nurseries in Cookville, Ontario, Canada. The mother plant is a hybrid cross between the Indiancurrant Coralberry (Symphoricarpos orbiculatus) x the Small-leaved Coralberry (Symphoricarpos microphyllus), that is called the Chenault Coralberry (Symphoricarpos x chenaultii). This cultivar gets about 2 feet high and 6 to 12 feet wide, has small bluish oval leaves, pinkish small flowers in small clusters and coral pink berries. On the regular Chenault Coralberry the fruits are white on the shaded side and pink on the sunny side. I have seen this cultivar offered at some larger, diverse, conventional and specialty nurseries in the Midwest and East USA.
