Sea Buckthorn

Sea buckthorn is a northern cold hardy shrub that’s become a darling of the superfood scene for its bright orange nutrient-dense berries. Said berries are quite tart and shine when processed into preserves or used in baking.

Left to its own devices, the sea buckthorn can grow into a 25-foot-high dense thicket, but it’s a trooper and can tolerate ruthless pruning. With silvery green leaves reminiscent of rosemary, the sea buckthorn makes a beautiful addition to any garden.
