Caragana is listed as “Siberian Pea Tree” by The Northwest Nursery Co. The catalog presents it as a hardy prairie hedge shrub, not as a fruit cultivar. It calls Caragana the “first and most important” hedge to plant in the Northwest and recommends it widely for farmers and home owners. [S1]
The nursery says the plant came from Siberia and was introduced by the Canadian Government of Saskatchewan. It also cites large hedge plantings at the Indian Head Experiment Station in Saskatchewan. Northwest Nursery says it had already introduced Caragana to planters in Dakota and Montana several years earlier. [S1]
The catalog stresses shelter, hardiness, and landscape value. It says established plants resist drought and winter injury, and that the nursery had never known one to die from either cause. Most hedges are reported as 12 to 18 feet high and six to eight feet wide. [S1]
The ornamental description notes bright golden spring blossoms, followed by Nile green foliage and bronze bark. The catalog describes Caragana as an effective and attractive snow fence for the Northwest, with both shelter value and a pleasing appearance. [S1]
The available source gives no direct edible fruit use, cultivar parentage, release year, or taxonomic detail. The evidence supports Caragana here as a hardy Siberian hedge shrub used in prairie shelter planting, not as a named fruit cultivar. [S1]
