THE BUFFALO BERRY 



This plant is indigenous to the Rocky 

 Mountain region and the dry plains of 

 the West. The fruit is edible, and 

 makes a good quality of jelly. Unlike 

 its nearest relative in Japan (the Goumi 

 berry Elceagnus longpipes) it is not 

 thorny, and in our cultivated varieties 

 every plant bears heavily, while in the 

 wild state the trees are dioecious, only 

 half of them bearing fruit.
