Canadian Buffalo Berry vs Alpine CurrantShepherdia canadensis Ribes alpinum ONLY AVAILABLE BY CONTRACT GROW NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON 
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.
Alpine Currant is a great shrub to plant along sidewalks, near building or at your property boundary as a hedge or accent species. It is widely used by commercial landscapers in parking lots and near buildings because of its hardiness, attractiveness, and pollution tolerance.
