Silver Buffalo Berry vs Purple Leaf Sand CherryShepherdia argentea Prunus x cistena 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.
Purple Leaf Sand Cherry provides bright reddish-purple leaves that turn bronze-green in the fall. In the spring, tiny flowers with a pinkish white hue bloom. The flowers are small, but the impact comes from the shrub blossoming all at once. SILVER BUFFALO BERRY QUICK FACTSPURPLE LEAF SAND CHERRY QUICK FACTS
