Silver Buffalo Berry vs Illini Hardy BlackberryShepherdia argentea Rubus fruticosus Illini Hardy 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 Illini Hardy Blackberry was developed in Illinois for northern growers, and produces a large, juicy blackberry with medium-sweet flavor. The berries are ready for harvest in midsummer, and go great in preserves. SILVER BUFFALO BERRY QUICK FACTSILLINI HARDY BLACKBERRY QUICK FACTS
