Magnificent in garden borders or mass planting, you’ll appreciate your cranberry on your table and in your yard.

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.
