Sea Buckthorn 'Orange Russian'

Hippophae rhamnoides ‘Orange Russian’ is a sea buckthorn cultivar known for its remarkable hardiness and consistent fruit quality. This vigorous fruit shrub, with its bushy and thorny habit, is perfectly suited for edible hedges, Nordic orchards, and ecological landscaping. Its deciduous, silvery-gray-green foliage provides subtle ornamental interest while demonstrating excellent tolerance to poor, dry, or sandy soils. Female plants produce bright orange berries rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, with a distinctly tart flavor, highly sought after for processing into juices, syrups, and functional products. As with all sea buckthorn, the presence of a male plant is necessary for fruit production. Very well adapted to Quebec's climate, ‘Orange Russian’ combines productivity, robustness, and high ecological value.
