Silver Buffalo Berry vs Northern Red CurrantShepherdia argentea Ribes triste 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.
The Northern Red Currant is also known as the Swamp Red currant due to its preference for moist soil. As long as the soil is wet, this shrub can live in any degree of sunlight. SILVER BUFFALO BERRY QUICK FACTSNORTHERN RED CURRANT QUICK FACTS
