Silver Buffalo Berry vs Balsors BlackberryShepherdia argentea Rubus fruticosus Balsors 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 Balsors Blackberry is a cold-hardy variety that produces very large, sweet and juicy blackberries late in the summer. They are great for baking and fresh eating. SILVER BUFFALO BERRY QUICK FACTSBALSORS BLACKBERRY QUICK FACTS
