Dry, Alkali & Tough Ground

Dormant bare root trees and shrubs for dry hills, alkali spots and tough ground, shipped in spring 2027 and proven in cold country. Siberian peashrub (caragana), buffaloberry, silverberry and sea buckthorn fix their own nitrogen.

Tough doesn't mean no water. Every bare root plant still needs water the first couple of years.

Everything here is rated zone 2 to zone 3 on our MFTC modified cold hardiness scale, which means winters of -50°F to -40°F.

Wholesale: sold by the bundle (25 plants, or 20 for sizes 3 ft. and taller). Mix any Farm & Ranch plants to reach a price break at 4, 12 and 24 bundles. Paid in full at checkout, flat rate shipping. Only need a few? Order from the regular store.
