Widely adapted nitrogen fixing shrub with small yellow flowers and juicy red berries. Russet buffaloberry differs from regular Buffaloberry in that this shrub is thornless, but the berries, while edible, are more bitter. This species is native to Washington along Puget Sound and is also found in Coastal Alaska and Western British Columbia, though it is more common in the Intermountain West. Also known as soapberry, and traditionally used in the preparation of sxusem, or "Indian ice cream." Zone 2-7
