Hippophae rhamnoides 'Garden's Gift'

An early-season ripener, ready in late August. This Russian variety produces abundant crops of large, dark orange, aromatic fruit; great for juice and preserves. This is a female plant, which will require a nearby male for pollination.

Seaberry, also known as Sea Buckthorn, originates from Russia and Central Asia, where it is prized for its edible and nutritious berries. Its thorns make it an ideal hedge plant, and its ability to fix nitrogen helps feed the surrounding plants. The powerfully-flavored berries, which taste like a punch of orange and a hint of guava, are delicious in jams and juice. Wind-pollinated; one male plant will pollinize 6-8 surrounding female plants. No chill hours required
