Seabuckthorn Lekora

Lekora Seabuckthorne

Leikora Seaberry bears clusters of orange berries along its branches. The strongly flavored fruit is useful for juice and preserves and can remain on the plant into cold weather.

This female selection has a relatively compact habit for a seaberry. Its thorny branches can form a productive hedge, with autumn fruit providing a strong color accent.

Plant in full sun with a male seaberry nearby. Pollination is carried by wind, and female plants need the male to set fruit.
