Silver Buffalo Berry vs Russian AlmondShepherdia argentea Prunus tenella SOLD OUT (new stock expected: fall of 2019) 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.
Russian Almond is a low maintenance, short, slightly suckering shrub. It is covered with attractive, bright pink flowers in early spring before its foliage emerges. SILVER BUFFALO BERRY QUICK FACTSRUSSIAN ALMOND QUICK FACTS
