**** 5 SEA BUCKTHORN BERRY TREE SEEDS ****
Sea buckthorn is very resistant to frost injury, making it more suitable for planting in a location in your orchard that is not suitable for other crops. If ample land is available, a north or north east slope is still preferential. The plant prefers well drained loam soils with high organic matter. Drainage is important because areas where water pools will drown the roots. The plants are very salt tolerant and adaptable to a wide range of soil pH.
The plants are dioecious, meaning there are both male and female plants. Ideally Male plants must be spread evenly throughout the female plants at 7% to 12% of the total population. The male and female plants are indistinguishable as seedlings so it is preferable to purchase cloned cultivars and males in an dedicated orchard system.
