Overview
Silver buffaloberry is about as tough as a shrub gets. It fixes its own nitrogen, takes drought and alkali, and its thorns make a thicket that cattle and deer respect.
Origin & History
Native across Montana and the northern plains, along draws and river breaks.
Fruit & Uses
Tart red berries on female plants, sweeter after frost, for jelly and for grouse and songbirds. One of the best cover and nesting shrubs on the plains.
Growth Habit
Thorny, silver leaved, suckering shrub. It reaches around 12 to 15 ft in Missoula, Kalispell, Billings and other places we've seen it growing across Montana.
Spacing
Plant 4 to 6 ft apart in the row for a hedge or shelterbelt. A bundle of 25 covers 100 to 150 ft of row.
Pollination
Separate male and female plants, pollinated by insects. A seedling row will have both.
Cold hardiness
We rate buffaloberry to zone 2, winters to -50°F.
How wholesale orders work
- Bundles can't be split. Sizes under 3 ft. come 25 to a bundle, 3 ft. and taller come 20 to a bundle.
- Price breaks count every Farm & Ranch bundle in your cart, any mix of plants. 4 bundles, 12 bundles and 24 bundles each drop the price on all of them. The discount shows up in your cart on its own.
- Add to your order any time before it ships. Same shipping address, and the bundles count together toward the next price break.
- No cancellations after February 1. Cancel part of an order before then and the rest is priced at the break it still earns.
- If we come up short on a plant, you keep the price break you paid for and we refund the bundles we couldn't send.
- Our dead plant guarantee covers these the same as everything else we sell. A plant that never leafs out its first season gets a credit code for what you paid for it plus its share of the shipping. We can't break a bundle, so credit goes toward a future order, not loose replacement plants.
