Hippophae rhamnoides: New to North American gardeners, Sea Berry is prized throughout Europe and Asia for its nutritious fruit, medicinal value, attractive habit and tolerance to even the most inhospitable growing situations. The fruit is commonly used in juices, preserves, candy and liqueurs. It is an excellent source of vitamins A, E and especially C (7 times the vitamin C as lemons). The juice is delicious when sweetened. The plant is very tough and hardy, adaptable to all but extremely heavy, wet soil. True to its name, the Sea Berry even tolerates salt spray in coastal areas. It fixes nitrogen into the soil through its large root system and suffers no disease or pest problems. Blooms appear in April and female plants produce fruit that ripens in September to a reddish orange. The plant is deciduous, but the berries will remain on the branches throughout the cold months making it an attractive winter specimen. Little or no pruning is necessary unless for shaping. Fruit is produced on 2-year old wood. Both a male and female plant are necessary for pollination and should be located within 20 feet of each other since the flowers are wind pollinated.
Plants are 1 year old and ship mid-April. Order by March 1st for best availability. Complete growing instructions are included with each order. Not available to HI, US Territories or Canada."
