Silver Buffalo Berry vs Canadian Buffalo BerryShepherdia argentea Shepherdia canadensis SOLD OUT ONLY AVAILABLE BY CONTRACT GROW 
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.
Canadian Buffalo Berry is a native deciduous shrub found throughout North America. This hardy, medium-sized shrub will tolerate poor soil conditions and produces attractive, edible–though very bitter–red fruit. SILVER BUFFALO BERRY QUICK FACTSCANADIAN BUFFALO BERRY QUICK FACTS
