The density of wood itself is on the order of 6 x 10^5 g/m^3. I don't know how to compensate for the presence of the bark or the leaves. I would imagine, though, that the density of wood would serve a suitable approximation.

It is also called (Frangula purshiana) – Cascara Buckthorn.
The second reference shows wood densities ranging from 170-1370 kilograms per cubit meter. This one isn't listed. The third reference also has a wood density table, which also doesn't include this one. The alder is listed there as 420-680, and since there is an Alder Buckthorn, I'd pick this range if I had to guess.
Note that density is mass per unit volume.
