Canadian Buffaloberry vs Oregon GrapeShepherdia canadensis Berberis aquifolium (Mahonia aquifolium) SOLD OUT SOLD OUT
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.
Oregon Grape is an evergreen shrub native to North America, found along the Pacific coast. In spring, the bright golden-yellow flowers appear in clusters above the leaves. These flowers eventually give way to edible blue berries in late summer. While not a true grape, the berries appear grape-like due to their colouring and clustered growth. They can be eaten fresh, but the sour taste and high amounts of natural pectin make them well suited for preserves. CANADIAN BUFFALOBERRY QUICK FACTSOREGON GRAPE QUICK FACTS
