		Hello All,
		
		I'm new to the list.
		
		Currently, I live in Champaign, Illinois (USDA zone 5)
and am
		interested in berries and their possibilities in
permaculture. Last
		year I planted a few of Purple-flowering Raspberry
(Rubus odoratus),
		elderberry (Sambucus canadensis), and red currant (Ribes
rubrum).
		
		This year, I'm considering planting Buffaloberry
(Shepherdia
		canadensis), as I found it referenced as a native plant
used by the
		native peoples that were once here on the prairie. Does
anyone have
		any experience planting and caring for this species? I'm
curious to
		know what its preferences and pitfalls are.
		
		Thanks,
		Robert
