Description:

8-15’ x 6-10’ wide, (seed propagated). A native shrub to the northern Great Plains of the U.S., Silver Buffalo Berry is a tough, extremely cold hardy shrub excellent for use as an ornamental shrub, in wind breaks and in confined areas where it can be limbed up for use as a small tree. Like New Mexico Privet, Silver Buffalo Berry has separate male and female plants. The female plants bear heavy crops of bright red berries that are both ornamental and excellent for feeding songbirds. Although xeric once established, Silver Buffalo Berry will be taller and faster growing when not kept too dry. A highly recommended substitute for Russian Olive.Grown in premium 5” deep pots Zones 3-9.
