Hippophae rhamnoides 'Leikora'
Hippophae rhamnoides ‘Leikora’ is a highly esteemed sea buckthorn cultivar known for its high productivity and consistent fruit quality. This vigorous fruit shrub features a dense, spiny, bushy habit, perfectly suited for fruit hedges, agroecological projects, and natural landscaping. Its deciduous, silvery-gray-green foliage offers subtle ornamental interest while ensuring excellent tolerance to poor, dry, or sandy soils. The ‘Leikora’ variety is distinguished by its large, bright orange berries, rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, particularly valued for processing into juices, purees, and functional products. As with all sea buckthorns, the presence of a male plant is essential for fruiting. Extremely hardy, ‘Leikora’ is perfectly adapted to Quebec’s climatic conditions and represents a prime choice for combining yield, resilience, and ecological value.
