Sea Buckthorn
From LoveToKnow Garden
Sea Buckthorn (Hippophae) - H. rhamnoides is a beautiful seashore native shrub, happy in any free soil. The best position for it is a rather damp spot near a running stream, where the subsoil is always moist. It forms, when wild, a straggling bush, 8 or 10 feet high. In gardens it grows taller. The Sea Buckthorn has silvery-looking Willow-like leaves and bears a profusion of orange berries. Apart from the brilliantly colored fruit, the silvery effect of the leaves is good where the bush thrives. There are other kinds, H. fasciculata and H. salicifolia, natives of Indian mountains, but they are so far rare in gardens.
