Canadian Buffaloberry

Overview

Canadian Buffaloberry is a small deciduous shrub native to North America. Growing up to 6 feet tall, this species is characterized by a wide, spreading, and dense shrub with bright orange-red berries. Its tough, leathery leaves have a pale-green to silver-grey color, which fall off in autumn. Its woody stems are covered with a smooth grey bark. In the summer months, the shrub is covered with small, creamy, yellow-green flowers that give way to round or pear-shaped berries. These berries are tart and high in vitamin C, making them a popular snack for wildlife and humans alike.
