Sea Buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) 4060cm Bare Root 2yr old (1+1) pack of 25

Preferred common name: Sea Buckthorn Other common names: Sallow thorn, swallow thorn, willow thorn Our Royal Horticultural Society Sea Buckthorn ( Hippophae rhamnoides ) is a fast growing, deciduous, native hedge with narrow, silvery foliage and thorns. Flowers are insignificant, but if a male plant is available for pollination, masses of persistent orangeyellow berries occur in autumn on female plants, which stay on the bush all winter. For a good supply of berries, it needs to be in a sunny situation. Berries are edible and are high in vitamin C and can be used in marmalade. This is a good plant for coastal situations, but which also does very well inland, even in very cold positions. The plant spreads quickly, both by sucker and seed, so it needs a little bit of maintenance. RHS bare root hedging is a very low cost way of planting a hedge, but is only available to buy and plant when dormant (NovemberMarch). Orders ahead of 1st November will be stored to guarantee an early delivery date.
