Shepherdia argentea
Shepherdia argentea, commonly known as silver buffaloberry, is notable for its silver-sheened foliage and bright red berries, which are considered a superfood. This drought-tolerant plant is native to the United States and can be used as a screen, windbreak, or for erosion control. It thrives in both wet and dry soils and does not have specific sun level preferences. The berries are used in various culinary applications, including jams and candies, but require a pollinating partner for production. This hardy plant is well-suited for poor soils and can adapt to a range of environmental conditions.
