Sea buckthorn 'Friesdorfer Orange'

Hippophae rhamnoides ‘Friesdorfer Orange’ is a highly productive sea buckthorn cultivar, prized for the abundance and quality of its bright orange berries. This vigorous fruit shrub has a dense bushy habit, ideal for edible hedges, agroecological projects, and soil stabilization. Its deciduous silver-grey foliage offers subtle ornamental interest while demonstrating remarkable tolerance to poor, dry, or sandy soils. The fruits, produced on female plants, are rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, with a tangy flavor sought after for juices, jams, and other processing. As with all sea buckthorn, the presence of a male plant is necessary to ensure fruiting. Very well adapted to Quebec's climate, ‘Friesdorfer Orange’ combines extreme hardiness, high yield, and significant ecological value.
