Male sea buckthorn 'Pollmix'
FamilyElaeagnaceae
Hippophae rhamnoides ‘Pollmix’ is a male sea buckthorn specifically selected to ensure effective and prolonged pollination of female sea buckthorn cultivars. This cultivar is characterized by spring flowering rich in pollen from a genetic mix, which improves compatibility and fertilization of several female varieties. Its vigorous and thorny bushy habit makes it an excellent choice for structured fruit hedges and productive plantings. The deciduous silvery-gray-green foliage offers discreet interest while demonstrating exceptional tolerance to poor soils and harsh conditions. Extremely hardy, ‘Pollmix’ is perfectly adapted to Quebec's climate and is an indispensable element for maximizing fruit production in any sea buckthorn cultivation project.
