- One of the less cuddly bushes despite its velvety leaves, silver buffaloberries are a concerningly thorny bushes native to Canada and the States, with oodles of small red berries that pack a flavourful punch. And their soapier cousins are pretty interesting too.

Best video on the buffalo berry! 😂
Like this! Just planted a couple in my yard. Hope to see more of your content!
Just discovered you, love your style of telling the story of the plant! Thanks for contributing:)
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
That was really great. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Soapy but if hybridizing is done correctly or perhaps with Crisper technologies this could potentially be improved and become an expensive antioxidant cash crop
I gonna make pemmican with it the original way... we got a buffalo and i rendered the fat ...tomorrow I sundry the meat and a bunch of the berries for my survival food stash ...
Nice! I'd be interested to hear how that goes.
might I make a video@@AmblingwithSam
Enjoyed that! Kinda reminds me of the red huckleberries we have here on the west coast.
Oh interesting! I'd heard of black and blue types of huckleberries, but didn't know they had red ones out there too. You learn something new every day.
narrow hills park saskatchewan lots of them in the forest ... how to make it look up lownee from far north bushcraft and survival here on you tube...
Ive thought about getting a buffaloberry bush, but I want berries. You need a male and a female, and I can't really tell when I'm buying it. Well I could tell in September, but it was late to plant. One might find a goumi easier?
I've seen a Canada buffaloberry hiking in colorado. Wow, it was a bad taste. Ive seen the silver ones late season at a nursery, and they taste pretty good.
Yeah, that is a definite downside with these, though depending where you are (and when the cold hits), fall can actually be a really good time to plant trees and shrubs. In some ways it can be even better than in spring, since it gives the plant some extra time to establish its roots before the next summer's heat.
But yeah, if you're just looking to plant one or two, something like a goumi might be a better bet (if it works for your climate. I'm on the fringe range for them here in Manitoba).
