Buckthorn (Sea buckthorn)

The sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides subsp. rhamnoides) (Sea buckthorn) is a shrub on which small yellow/orange berries grow. When the shrub is five years old, berry harvesting can be started. In late August, early September the berries are ripe enough. The color is then bright orange. It is still quite a job to harvest the buckthorn berries without damaging them. Therefore, harvesting is a labor-intensive process.

The plant occurs naturally in the Netherlands mainly in the open and calcareous dunes. The buckthorn is resistant to salt and the drifting of the sand. In Central Asia (Hippophae rhamnoides subsp. carpatica) it grows in desert-like environments, in the Alps (Hippophae rhamnoides subsp. fluviatilis) in open country and on river banks. The berries of the buckthorn are acidic and rich in vitamin C.
