Silver Buffalo Berry vs Pygmy CaraganaShepherdia argentea Caragana pygmaea 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.
Pygmy Caragana is a shrub that is related to Common Caragana and has a compact size that is suitable for yards with limited space. Its size is perfect for landscaping and decorative hedges, and requires little maintenance. This nitrogen fixer has fine-textured foliage and small yellow flowers. Much like Common Caragana, it is hardy and drought tolerant. SILVER BUFFALO BERRY QUICK FACTSPYGMY CARAGANA QUICK FACTS
