How to care for Seaberry/Sea Buckthorn Plants
Sea Buckthorn plants will grow in a variety of soil types. They even grow in low-nutrient soils and in drought conditions. Just the same they grow best in full sun and neutral to acidic soils and can be grown in ex-large containers and/or pots. Space plants 10 ft apart from one another. Together, the shrubs work as a hedge, so it is ideal to plant them all in a long row. Also, planting them this way will ensure fruiting occurs (so that male plants will be able to pollinate the female plants nearby). These shrubs can grow up to 30 ft tall if not pruned.

Germination Procedure: If not planted in the fall for overwintering, the seeds require a 1-3 month cold/moist stratification before sowing to simulate winter conditions. Scarify the seeds by soaking them in water for 2 days in order to soften the seed coating. Sow seeds overtop moist soil and keep them near the top soil line (the seeds need sunlight to germinate). Germination time: 2 weeks after sowing.
