The quick and convenient step by step guide to growing your own Sea Buckthorn from seeds!
Sea Buckthorn (Hippophae Rhamnoides) is a cold-hardy shrub native to the northern hemisphere. It is a perennial and is hardy in zones 3-8. It prefers well-draining, light, sandy soil with a pH of 6 to 6.7, although it will grow in soils with a pH of 5.5 to 8.3. Sea buckthorn seeds are a 50/50 mixture of male and female seeds. To ensure pollination, you need at least one male plant for every six female plants on your property. The plants will produce berries in 3-4 years, and this is when you can differentiate between the male and female plants; the females produce the berries.
