Shepherdia

Shepherdia - A small group of American shrubs, grown for their bright silvery foliage, the flowers being inconspicuous, though one kind bears an excellent fruit. All are hardy and of easy culture, resisting cold and drought even on dry banks where few other plants can exist. S. canadensis is excellent in this way, reaching a height of 6 to 8 feet, with oval green leaves, reddish underneath, and small red or yellow berries. S. argentea, the Buffalo Berry, is a taller shrub of nearly 20 feet, with thorny stems, silvery leaves, and juicy red or yellow berries, prized for jellies and preserves by the Western colonists. S. rotundifolius is an evergreen kind with silvery leaves, from Utah.
