Sea Buckthorn (Hedging)

Description How to Grow More Info Delivery

This shrub grows well in adverse conditions, preferring dry almost sandy soils, where it will thrive. Small, silvery leaves, almost willow-like in appearance appear in spring on the thorny stems, the yellow flowers will later produce orange, grape sized fruits which are a rich source of Vitamin C but will require a male plant to produce the best crops. An ideal plant to grow as hedging or screening, Sea Buckthorn is also well suited for coastal gardens. Supplied as 60 - 90cm bareroots (24 - 31") Height: 8m (26'). Spread: 8m (26'). Planting Distance: 30cm (12"). (4 plants per metre for a single line hedge).

Van Meuwen strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.
