Yellow Fruited Silver Buffaloberry Seeds

Yellow Fruited Silver Buffaloberry (Shepherdia argentea) seed was collected locally from plants with yellow rather than the usual red fruit. About 30 to 40 percent of their seedlings are expected to produce yellow berries.

Silver Buffaloberry is a thorny nitrogen fixing shrub or small tree with blue green leaves. The sweet tart fruit grows in clusters along the stems and is used for jelly. Plants also provide food and cover for wildlife.

Male and female plants are separate, so both are required for pollination and fruit production.
