It forms an upright, thicket-like habit and adapts well to wind-exposed sites and poor, sandy ground, making it a useful choice for hedgerows, shelterbelts, and mixed wildlife borders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe tart, juicy berries are traditionally used in jellies, sauces, juices, and syrups, while the foliage and fruit provide interest through late summer and autumn. Plants are typically dioecious, so both male and female plants are needed for fruit set, and pruning is best done to control spread and keep the shrub manageable. Berries are easiest to harvest by cutting whole fruiting branches or by freezing branches briefly before stripping the fruit.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecies: Hippophae rhamnoides\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Hardy deciduous shrub\u003cbr\u003e\nPlant_Habit: Upright, suckering, thicket-forming\u003cbr\u003e\nSun: Full sun\u003cbr\u003e\nSoil: Well-drained, sandy to loamy, tolerates poor soil\u003cbr\u003e\nDays_to_Harvest: 3 to 5 years from seed\u003cbr\u003e\nZones: 3 to 8\u003cbr\u003e\nGermination: Cold stratification recommended; sow in moist medium and keep cool\u003cbr\u003e\nSowing: Surface sow and press lightly into soil; do not bury deeply\u003cbr\u003e\nSpacing: 6 to 10 feet apart\u003cbr\u003e\nNotes: Dioecious; plant male and female for fruit production\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67664816210056,"sku":"ANNISA-589","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4648\/6408\/files\/il_fullxfull.7904252358_i36l_dd894787-8b04-48e5-a398-967ef259966a.jpg?v=1791899593","url":"https:\/\/www.natesgardensupply.com\/products\/20-seeds-sea-buckthorn-hippophae-rhamnoides-hardy-deciduous-shrub","provider":"Nate's Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
