Sea Buckthorn Seeds

Sea Buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) is a hardy, fast-growing deciduous shrub prized for its vibrant orange berries, silvery-green foliage, and exceptional resilience in tough growing conditions. Known for its high vitamin C content and antioxidant-rich fruit, Sea Buckthorn is widely grown for culinary, medicinal, and ornamental purposes. This cold-tolerant plant thrives in poor soils, coastal areas, and windy sites, making it an excellent choice for erosion control, hedgerows, and permaculture landscapes.

Sea Buckthorn plants are dioecious, meaning male and female plants are separate—both are needed for fruit production. Once established, these shrubs produce abundant clusters of bright orange berries that can be harvested for juices, jams, oils, and supplements. In addition to its edible value, Sea Buckthorn is nitrogen-fixing, helping improve soil fertility naturally.
