Not everyone knows that sea buckthorn is a dioecious plant. In addition, if you plant one tree, it is unlikely that you will be able to wait for the harvest.
To form ovaries, a female and a male plant are planted.
The berries ripen on the female plant, the male crop is planted in close proximity for pollination.
When is the best time to plant sea buckthorn seedlings
The best time for planting sea buckthorn seedlings is considered to be early spring, when the plant is dormant - until sap flow begins and the buds begin to swell.
For planting in spring, seedlings with both closed and open root systems are suitable.
Autumn planting is also acceptable for the crop.
How to properly plant sea buckthorn on the site
A pole approximately one and a half meters high is driven into the center of each hole, then a mound of soil mixture of humus-rich earth is poured into the hole.
A seedling is placed on this ground, all the roots are straightened and the young sea buckthorn is secured to a post.
After this, the hole is filled to the top with black soil and sand.
How to care for sea buckthorn
Sea buckthorn loves light and moisture, but does not like stagnant water.
Therefore, sunny areas are chosen for its cultivation, and frequent watering is provided to replenish the need for moisture.
In the shade the bush grows much slower and produces less fruit.
The plant should be planted away from other plantings.
