Canadian Buffalo Berry vs Purple Leaf Sand CherryShepherdia canadensis Prunus x cistena ONLY AVAILABLE BY CONTRACT GROW ONLY AVAILABLE BY CONTRACT GROW 
Canadian Buffalo Berry is a native deciduous shrub found throughout North America. This hardy, medium-sized shrub will tolerate poor soil conditions and produces attractive, edible–though very bitter–red fruit.
Purple Leaf Sand Cherry provides bright reddish-purple leaves that turn bronze-green in the fall. In the spring, tiny flowers with a pinkish white hue bloom. The flowers are small, but the impact comes from the shrub blossoming all at once. CANADIAN BUFFALO BERRY QUICK FACTSPURPLE LEAF SAND CHERRY QUICK FACTS
