Silver Buffalo Berry vs Silver Leaf WillowShepherdia argentea Salix alba sericea SOLD OUT SOLD OUT (new stock expected: fall of 2022) 
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.
Native to North America, Silver Leaf Willow has orangish bark and long, silvery grey leaves. Bees and other insects are attracted to its flowers. SILVER BUFFALO BERRY QUICK FACTSSILVER LEAF WILLOW QUICK FACTS
