About Sea Buckthorn
The UK alternative to citrus fruit
Sea buckthorn is a shrub which is native to the UK. Mostly found along the coast, although also used for hedging. It grows in a bushy fashion, sending out suckers which can eventually form a thicket. As the name suggests, it has thorns. These can be long and vicious, hiding among the berries. This makes picking the berries straight off the tree quite treacherous.
However, there are commercially bred cultivars which have smaller thorns. The berries can be a variety of colours, from deep orange to yellow and almost white. The shrubs are either male or female, with the male trees not producing any berries.
