Hippophae rhamnoides ‘Orange Énergie’ is a sea buckthorn cultivar selected for its high productivity and the exceptional richness of its fruits. This vigorous fruit shrub, with a bushy and thorny habit, integrates perfectly into edible hedges, northern orchards, and ecological landscapes. Its deciduous, silvery-gray-green foliage offers a discreet decorative contrast while demonstrating great tolerance to poor soils and harsh conditions. Female plants produce an abundance of bright orange berries, highly concentrated in vitamin C and antioxidants, particularly valued for juices, purees, and healthy preparations. Like all sea buckthorn plants, the presence of a male plant is necessary to ensure fruit production. Extremely hardy and well-adapted to Quebec's climate, ‘Orange Énergie’ is an excellent choice for combining yield, resilience, and nutritional value.
