A well-placed Silverberry can make a border feel intentional without making it feel formal. A practical rule for Silverberry: Manage suckers where you need a defined boundary, or let them build a useful thicket. Design with Silverberry as a windbreak, large screen, or naturalized native planting. Bring your plant list to The Greenhouse Nursery in Logan, UT, and add Silverberry to the mix.
