Naturally, they have a more shrub-like stature, but take to pruning well \u0026amp; can be sculpted into a tree with little effort. Silverberry plants are tolerant to a variety of conditions including coastal (salt \u0026amp; wind), drought, sandy or rocky soil, heavy clay soil, \u0026amp; nutritionally poor soil. They can even help to fix the nitrogen in the soil. The thornless Silverberry is fast growing \u0026amp; long lived, \u0026amp; will spread by rhizomes to form colonies without being at all invasive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe American Silverberry gets its name from its lovely silvery leaves \u0026amp; berries. They begin by flowering from late spring into early summer with clusters of fragrant flowers whose petals are yellow on the inside with silvery backs that lure in bees \u0026amp; butterflies. By fall, the flowers will have turned to oval shaped ½” long silvery berries. Their fruit can be eaten raw or cooked, \u0026amp; is used in jellies, soups, \u0026amp; more. The berries contain vitamins including C, E, \u0026amp; A, as well as some valuable minerals. You can also opt to leave the fruit on the shrub for the birds to enjoy. The Silverberry is food for moose, deer, elk, \u0026amp; small woodland critters too. This native plant has traditional medicinal uses, as well as a variety of other useful purposes including being made into soap, its bark used for weaving, \u0026amp; the berries as decorative beads.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e* We’ve got a wide variety of spectacular hard to find native plant seeds available in our store!
