In an earlier response post, I recommended buffaloberries (Shepherdia spp.) 
as a great native alternative to the highly invasive alien exotic 
Autumn-olive (Elaeagnus umbellata).  I stated that it was, however, only 
appropriate for colder regions.  After looking at the USDA ranges for both 
species of native Shepherdia, it looks like it ranges well into the warmer 
zones, albeit usually in arid regions.  I can't be sure, but it looks like it 
should do well in most places.  Any ideas?
