Canadian Buffaloberry vs Northern BayberryShepherdia canadensis Myrica pensylvanica 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.
Northern Bayberry makes an excellent hedge or feature shrub. It will retain its leaves in warmer climates but drops them in colder areas. They produce blue-grey berries that have a wax coating on them that can be used to make candles or soaps. CANADIAN BUFFALOBERRY QUICK FACTSNORTHERN BAYBERRY QUICK FACTS
