Sea Buckthorn also produces prodigious quantities of juicy orange berries that provide a valuable winter food source for birds.
Cultivation tips: Sea Buckthorn is a super tough drought tolerant native shrub that flourishes in a sunny dry spot, ideally in an open exposed location. This tall shrub requires a dry soil, being ideally suited for planting in extreme coastal conditions. You can trim to shape for a dense prickly hedge which will put of any intruder.
