Organic Sea Buckthorn (Seaberry)

The super fruits of this productive Asian shrub are generally cooked and eaten with a sweetener; they’re tart when raw though many people enjoy them fresh.  They’re one of Nature’s best sources of vitamin C and contain carotenoids, vitamin E, amino acids and dietary minerals. They’re used to make pies, jams and lotions. Sea Buckthorns are nitrogen-fixers and are an excellent multi-purpose plant for the edible landscape. It’s too bad sailors in the past didn’t know about sea buckthorn, because one berry contains roughly 12 times the Vitamin C of an orange! In addition to Vitamin C, the berries also contain a unique Omega-7 fatty acid, which is reputed to have the ability to protect the inner stomach lining and treat stomach ulcers. Leaves can also be steeped as tea to provide similar nutritions as the berry.

Plants are bare-root or potted and around 1ft tall. This is a fast growing tree and within a few years will reach its maximum hight.
