Silver Buffalo Berry vs Bracted HoneysuckleShepherdia argentea Lonicera involucrata SOLD OUT (new stock expected: fall of 2019) SOLD OUT (new stock expected: fall of 2019) 
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.
Bracted Honeysuckle is a shade loving shrub that is distinguishable from other honeysuckles by its square stem and pointed leaves. Native to most of North America, this honeysuckle is found along swamps, rivers, riparian zones and moist wooded areas. SILVER BUFFALO BERRY QUICK FACTSBRACTED HONEYSUCKLE QUICK FACTS
