(Hippophae rhamnoides)
Seaberry, AKA Seabuckthorn, is a productive, nitrogen-fixing superfood. In late summer, branches fill up with tropical tasting orange berries that are delicious, packed with nutrients, and lovely to look at. These are extraordinarily hardy, pest resistant plants, tolerant of drought, wind, depleted soils and temperatures as low as -40F.
Star of Altai: Sweet, deep orange berries on an upright, nearly thornless plant.
Sweet Golden: Very large, sweet berries on a compact shrub.
Male: Required for pollination. Can pollinate up to 8 female plants.
Flavor profile: Citrusy, tropical, tangy, passionfruit
Hardiness zone: 3-9
Light: Full sun
Soil: Adaptable to any well-drained soil with pH 5.5-7.5
Mature height: 8-12’
Spacing: 3-6’
Pollination: At least 1 male plant is required for pollination of every 6-8 female plants. Seaberries are wind pollinated, so males should be planted close to female plants, ideally so the prevailing wind carries pollen in their direction.
Planting tips: Choose a location that can be mowed on all sides to help contain runners, as seaberries spread through rhizomes and can spread vigorously if left unchecked. Make sure your planting hole has good drainage by digging a large hole and stabbing the bottom and sides with a shovel so water can drain. Fill the hole with native soil to help water disperse evenly. Consistent watering is crucial for newly planted trees to help minimize transplant shock and establish strong roots.
Growing tips: Because their branches become so loaded with small berries, harvesting can be made easier by cutting off an entire branch and freezing it, after which berries can be easily knocked off in bulk. Frozen berries are amazing in winter smoothies to add a tropical, orange flavor and a powerful dose of vitamin C among many other nutrients.
