Silver Buffalo Berry vs River AlderShepherdia argentea Alnus incana SOLD OUT SOLD OUT 
Silver Buffalo Berry is a cold hardy, ornamental shrub that is commonly used in the first row of shelterbelts instead of caragana or lilac. It features subtle yellow flowers, smooth grey bark, and red fruit. On occasion orange fruit is produced and rarely a yellow fruit. Please note: we regularly collect the rare yellow and orange fruit to use for our seed source.
River Alder is a large shrub or small tree with a multi-stemmed, spreading habit. It is an excellent tree to plant if you want to stabilize the soil near rivers and creeks. SILVER BUFFALO BERRY QUICK FACTSRIVER ALDER QUICK FACTS
