Sea buckthorn is a lot of vitamins and unique combination trace elements, an almost complete natural pharmacy that allows you to recover from various diseases. It is used fresh, in the form of jams, decoctions, oils, bases for various medicines. This plant tend to grow in their gardens amateurs and professionals. But if the latter have long understood for themselves all the features of this plant, then the former are still only learning to distinguish male sea buckthorn from the female.
Sea buckthorn male- sea buckthorn is a dioecious plant. And this means that in one case there will be only female flowers, which will subsequently bear fruit, in the other - only male, whose task is to produce the necessary pollen. Male sea buckthorn does not produce fruits, but is essential for the reproduction of berries. If the whole garden is planted with only female plants, it will be of no use to anyone, because in this same-sex society there will be no pollination and no fruit. But I would like to, and this is precisely why there is a male plant (pollinator tree), which is planted approximately in the ratio of one "man" to 6-8 "women".
Sea buckthorn female- pollinated by a male tree and bears fruit in abundance. Female sea buckthorn is very similar to male, especially in early age, it can be distinguished only within 1–2 years before the start of the growing season.
We are trying to determine the sex of sea buckthorn.
In the first year of life, kidneys are taken for comparison. On female plants they are small and double, while on male plants they are noticeably larger and sometimes triple. In addition, at an early age, male seedlings are noticeably larger, and female seedlings are lower on average.
You can consider the leaf blade of the male and female plants. In the first case, we see an almost flat and slightly turned out shape from the central vein. If you look at the cross section, it resembles a seagull with outstretched wings. The female leaf is concave at the edges, and the cross section resembles a trough, a boat or a bowl.
In addition, it is worth paying attention to the density of plaque. male leaves more bluish, and female - green.
Sea buckthorn male plant sea buckthorn female plant
Question.
I already had several sea buckthorn bushes growing on my site when I purchased it. This year I expect to collect a good harvest - see the photo.
My sea buckthorn
However, I like sea buckthorn so much that I want to propagate this plant and, perhaps, purchase several seedlings of a different variety.
Therefore, I had a question, how to distinguish male sea buckthorn from female? Is it possible to propagate sea buckthorn seeds? How many male plants should be on the site?
Answer.
Sea buckthorn - dioecious plant. On male specimens, only stamens bear flowers, on female specimens there are pistillate flowers and fruits are formed from them. One male plant can pollinate about six female plants. They need to be planted close to each other, because pollination of sea buckthorn occurs with the help of the wind.
Sea buckthorn can also be propagated in shifts, but varietal characteristics are not preserved. However, sea buckthorn often gives root shoots (root offspring). They can be dug up and used for reproduction. Naturally, root offspring from female sea buckthorn there will also be female, and the root offspring from male sea buckthorn will be male. Therefore, the propagation of sea buckthorn by root shoots is preferable to seed.
Female (left) and male (right) sea buckthorn - shoots with buds
At the time of buying female plant sea buckthorn can be distinguished from the male in several ways, but not always. It all depends on the age of the seedlings. Up to 3 - 5 years is virtually impossible. The fact is that the difference between male and female sea buckthorn lies in generative buds. Generative buds are those from which flowers appear.
Young bushes form only vegetative buds (leaves and shoots develop from them). These buds are the same in male and female plants.
Generative buds in female plants look the same as vegetative ones, but in male sea buckthorn they are larger, covered with 7-8 scales (they resemble cedar cones in shape). They protrude from the branch, so they are clearly visible.
The leaf blades of sea buckthorn of different sexes also differ slightly. So for women they are stretched from the edges and resemble a bowl, while for men they are bent from the center and look like a seagull.
The bluish bloom, which covers the leaves of sea buckthorn, is more pronounced in the male plant than in the female. If you buy seedlings in the spring, then there will be no leaves on them yet. In autumn, you can try to navigate by these signs. But different varieties the leaves vary somewhat in size and color, so these characters are relative.
Now many nurseries offer seedlings of female sea buckthorn plants, to which a branch of a male specimen is grafted. This is a good option, which allows you not to suffer with the definition of sex and saves space in the summer cottage.
Sea buckthorn - shrub plant bogus families. It is a small tree that reaches about 3 m in height. The leaves of the plant have a long narrow shape of a light green hue with small dots. The fruits, which are of the greatest value in medicine, have a rich orange color, a slightly elongated shape. What sea buckthorn looks like can be seen in the photo of the plant.
Sea buckthorn is an overgrown shrub with bright orange, yellow or red fruits, depending on the plant variety. They have a rich sweet and sour taste and a delicate pleasant aroma. Sea buckthorn flowers in early spring. Inconspicuous ones appear small flowers white or cream shade, collected in brushes. How sea buckthorn blooms can be seen in the photo.
The plant begins to bear fruit from the end of August. Oblong berries appear on a small tree bright colors. In order to harvest as much as possible, the male and female plants are usually planted not far from each other. It is better to plant these shrubs in bright places in sandy soil.
Sea buckthorn has received the greatest distribution in Siberia, the European part of Russia, Moldova, the Caucasus, Ukraine.
It has already been noted that for effective growth, 2 types of shrubs should be grown. Visually, the male sea buckthorn does not differ from the female shrub; they cannot be distinguished before the formation of the first buds. Staminate buds are characteristic of the male plant. They appear singly and about a week earlier than the female shrub.
Female sea buckthorn has pistillate buds and larger flowers. Pollinated by a male plant. Therefore, shrubs growing alone do not grow and fall off along with the flowers.
In addition, plants can be distinguished by the color of the resulting leaves: in female shrubs, they have a more saturated green color. And the seedlings of the male plant are visually larger.
It is important to know! The ability to distinguish between types of sea buckthorn contributes to the collection more harvest! And this is important, because sea buckthorn is a storehouse of vitamins and nutrients.
There are many varieties of sea buckthorn. The most common should be considered in more detail. Description of each variety:
Important to remember! Regardless of the type of shrub, it needs proper care and early warning of pests!
Despite the fact that given plant resistant to the appearance of various diseases, yet pests sometimes visit this shrub. How to deal with them? The most common types of pests and methods of control:
It appears during the development of the kidneys, thereby leading to their destruction from the inside. AT summer period form nests in upper parts shoots. By the middle of the season amaze lower part stem bark. Most in an efficient way moth elimination is spraying the shrub with chlorophos in early spring.
This is one of the most dangerous pests, because it is capable of completely destroying the entire crop. They penetrate into the berries, feeding on their pulp. The fruits begin to darken and dry out. In order to avoid the impact of these pests, the plant should be sprayed with chlorophos in mid-July.
Shrub leaves are affected by their harmful effects. They feed on their juice, which leads to rapid yellowing of the foliage and early fall. To combat aphids, you can use a decoction of potatoes, onion or garlic husks with the addition of grated laundry soap. Carry out the treatment with such a solution during the period of leaf blooming.
Other pests and diseases:
Important to remember! For preventive purposes, sea buckthorn should be treated with chemical solutions every spring! This will help to grow a quality crop.
The fruits of this shrub are actively used in the treatment of many diseases, as well as to improve the immune system in the autumn-winter period. You can cook from sea buckthorn berries healthy tea, jam. Based on them, there are many recipes for the preparation of medicines in traditional medicine. The plant contributes to the treatment of such ailments:
The use of sea buckthorn as a tea is a very effective prevention of infectious and viral diseases. You can also use berries in fresh. And sea buckthorn oil contributes to the rapid healing of damage to the skin.
Sea buckthorn is a fairly common berry crop and is successfully grown in most regions of our country. When choosing a variety of sea buckthorn, it is necessary to give preference to zoned varieties, in addition, not only female, but also male plants should be planted on the site, in a ratio of 3–4: 1, which will ensure pollination and fruiting.
Annual and abundant fruiting of sea buckthorn can be achieved only when both female and male plants grow together in the same area. Upon purchase planting material or self-propagation by cuttings to distinguish sea buckthornmale from female is easy.
Regardless of the type and variety, it is necessary to pay attention to the following features popular berry culture:
Gardeners should take into account the fact that buds of an exclusively growth type are formed on young plants, therefore, with absolute certainty, it is possible to determine the sex of a berry crop at about the age of three to four years.
Features of agricultural technology of garden sea buckthorn are quite simple. It should be remembered that this light-loving culture grows well on unshaded buildings or other tall plants plots. Landing in most regions must be done in spring period according to the following rules:
At autumn digging it is advisable to enrich the soil with basic nutrients. For this purpose, 0.25 kg of superphosphate and 40–45 g of potassium salt must be added for each square meter. If necessary, potash and phosphate fertilizers are applied directly to the planting pit. Nitrogen-containing fertilizers and lime cannot be poured into the planting hole, due to the risk of burning the root system. It is necessary to plant sea buckthorn in pre-prepared landing pits dimensions 65x65x65 cm. Best of all, two-year-old seedlings take root, arranged according to the scheme 2x4 m or 1.5x3.5 m.
Sea buckthorn can be classified as unpretentious and with sufficient resistance to adverse external influences of berry crops. The plant requires minimal attention, and the main agrotechnical measures carried out in the conditions of home gardening are as follows:
With proper landing and good care Behind a sea buckthorn tree, a berry crop is able to bear fruit abundantly every year for up to 30–40 years.
Of course, it is preferable to purchase seedlings of berry crops in special crop nurseries, where experts will help determine the gender of the plant. Meanwhile, experienced gardeners recommend that when choosing planting material, focus on the following features:
Differences can also be seen in the density of plaque on the leaves. Such a coating on male plants has a more bluish tint, while the leaves of female plants have a color as close as possible to green.
Sea buckthorn- wind-pollinated, dioecious plant, with same-sex pistillate (female) and staminate (male) flowers.
Flower buds are laid in the phase of attenuation of the intensive growth of annual shoots in
length, in mid-July - early August on the gains of the previous year.
Flower buds are formed on short overgrowing and on elongated growth shoots. Usually one bud is formed in the axil of the leaf.
Before the emergence of vegetative-generative buds there is no other way to tell them apart. Therefore, we will tell you more about the differences male and female buds and flowers of sea buckthorn.
When buying seedlings, first of all, pay attention to the kidneys.
Pistillate (female) and staminate (male) buds differ from each other: usually stamens are 2-3 times larger than pistillates, in addition, they form five to eight, sometimes up to ten fleshy scales, different in size, and pistillates have only two or three, but large ones.
The photo shows the first - male, second - female sea buckthorn tree.
The laying of staminate flowers occurs earlier than pistillate ones by about a week.
staminate flowers appear one at a time, their number in the generative zone of the shoot reaches four - six or more. The flower has a cup-shaped, bifid, rounded-elliptical perianth of a greenish-gray color, with four free stamens. The filament is 1.5-2 times shorter than the perianth (1 mm), so the stamens look almost sessile. The anther consists of two interconnected ribbon-like threads of a whitish-gray color.
The pollen is very small (diameter 18-38 microns). flowering period male bushes sea buckthorn depends on weather conditions but usually lasts 6-12 days. Flowers on the axis of the growing shoot open non-simultaneously, mainly during the day when the air temperature is above 6-10°C.
Unlike male specimens of sea buckthorn, in female specimens, the leaves of the zone of the emerging shoot during the period of budding and flowering grow more intensively, therefore, in size they are somewhat larger than similar leaves of male plants, which is, apparently,
adaptation to pollination by wind. The leaf blade changes the direction of the air stream, and the pollen settles on the stigma of the pistil.
pistillate flowers, like stamens, develop in the axil of the covering leaf singly, less often - in the form of an umbrella with two or three flowers. They are petalless, cup-shaped, the color of the flower is yellowish-green. The only pistil consists of a single-celled ovary with one two-covered ovule, a short style and a unilaterally elongated stigma (2-3 mm long) of a yellowish color. The pistil is higher than the pericarp, therefore, immediately after flowering, the stigma rises above the perianth.
Women's and male flowers do not have nectaries, so they are not visited by bees and other insects. The rare appearance of bees on staminate flowers is explained by the fact that insects collect pollen from flowers as protein food. The ovary and partially the style of the pistil are surrounded by a kind of tubular fleshy organ - the hypanthium (receptacle). In the absence of pollination, it does not grow and falls off along with the unpollinated flower.
Many gardeners dream of growing a bush or two of sea buckthorn on their plot. Such an addiction to this plant is not accidental. Everyone has long known miraculous medicinal properties and the great health benefits of the unique combination of vitamins and minerals found in golden orange berries.
Unfortunately, not all gardeners manage to get the desired vitamin harvest. This happens from ignorance of one feature of the shrub. Sea buckthorn is a dioecious plant, which means that only male flowers bloom on one plant, and only female flowers bloom on the other. Female flowers subsequently form berries, but this can only happen if they get pollen from male colors. Therefore, in order to obtain a crop nearby, it is necessary to plant simultaneously sea buckthorn - "man" and sea buckthorn - "woman". Planting female plants alone will not give the desired result, that is, berries. For pollination of several (usually 6–8) female bushes, one male specimen is enough.
How to understand when choosing seedlings, where are the females and where are the males, so as not to be left without a crop? First of all, it should be noted that plants differ markedly starting from the third to fifth year of life. The difference in less mature bushes is almost imperceptible. When choosing, you should pay attention to four main points.
The surest way to get a male or female plant is to take as planting material one of the root offspring, which are formed in abundance in most both male and female plants. The shoot will always be the same sex as the mother bush. Reproduction by seeds is also possible, but in this case there is no guarantee of the preservation of varietal characteristics.
Currently, seedlings of female plants with pre-grafted male branches have appeared on sale. This option is very advantageous, as it guarantees a harvest and allows you to save planting space.
The main difference is in plant buds. In the male, they are almost three times larger than in the female, and they have a lot of scales (7-9 scales). And on women there are only 2-4. You can recognize them or in early spring, or late autumn. but basically this difference appears only in a tree that is 2-3 years old. In small cuttings, there are practically no differences.
They answered correctly, the plants differ, in fact, only in the kidneys. A similar picture from a gardening book helped me:
I can also suggest comparison photo, but this is just the perfect picture - at least for me they were somehow more similar to each other, although the male one has a lot of scales, the kidneys themselves are small and somehow loose, I had to carefully compare.
It turns out I have all female. And I didn’t even see men’s ones from any of my friends. Is there a problem with male sea buckthorn trees? I will look for a male plant now. I hope it's not too late to improve the situation.
If you look at the sea buckthorn bud, then on the female there are so-called covering scales, and on the male there are more of them, somewhere around 3-7, and they will be larger. But determining the sex in the early stages of development is extremely difficult. The harvest will be more abundant if 3-4 female plants are planted around the male plant.
Probably no one needs to be reminded that sea buckthorn is very useful, it is a storehouse of vitamins, contains a unique combination of trace elements. Sea buckthorn is used both fresh and in the form of decoctions, oils, bases for various medicines.
But many gardeners, having planted sea buckthorn, cannot wait for berries from it for a very long time, and why? Sea buckthorn is divided into a female tree and a male tree. Male trees do not give berries, they only pollinate female trees, and pollinated female trees give very good result. How to distinguish male trees from female?
The buds on the male plant are larger and they are triple, on the female smaller and double.
Seedlings of the male plant are larger, the female plant is smaller
There is more plaque on the male plant than on the female
The leaves on the male sea buckthorn are more bluish, on the female they are greenish.
I really hope that my information will help and you will finally determine what kind of sea buckthorn you have, male or female. Many, many berries and health to you.
Attractive plant with bright colors orange berries- an edible garden decoration and a universal remedy for many diseases. Both novice gardeners and experienced professionals can grow and harvest sea buckthorn crops. Having learned how to distinguish male and female sea buckthorn, you can not get lost in the choice of seedlings and correctly plant the crop on the site.
A tree with golden fruits is a dioecious plant. This means that the male seedlings produce flowers with only stamens, while the female plants have pistillate flowers. Therefore, fruits appear only on female specimens. The role of the male specimen is important because this plant pollinates the female sea buckthorn in windy weather. For six to eight pollinated trees, pollen from one male tree planted within fifty meters of a female tree is sufficient.
When a culture begins to bear fruit, then it is possible to accurately determine which tree is male and which is female. But usually the task of how to distinguish between male and female sea buckthorn is faced by gardeners before buying and planting a thorny tree. When carefully examining the seedlings, you should know three ways to distinguish.
Buy desired view garden culture get it in the nursery. There a tree with orange berries is propagated vegetatively and monitor the floor of the seedling. In places where specialists are professionally engaged in plant breeding, they offer to purchase female seedlings with a grafted branch of male sea buckthorn.
The advantage of the nursery is that modern varieties of culture are sold there. From the hands or in the market, you can buy an old variety or wild, which do not bear fruit abundantly and often get sick.
If medicinal sea buckthorn is propagated using seeds, it will not be possible to trace the signs by sex. If you propagate the root offspring of a tree, then from the male sea buckthorn there will be a male root, with females similarly. If the neighbors in the country have plants of the desired sex, you can ask them for root offspring.
For those who have only sea buckthorn girls growing on the site and bear little fruit, the following method will come in handy.
Do not worry if the selected and planted seedlings of male sea buckthorn do not develop in the next three years. This culture is invisibly increasing its developed root system. Help the trees correct soil and infrequent fertilizers.
In nature, initially there is no such species that would have both female and male functions at the same time. Therefore, the advertising tricks of such sellers are not worth it. As described above, only grafted male branches into a female crown give a universal tree. But in this case, a trace of the vaccination is sure to remain, and in the spring female and male kidneys are distinguishable.
Approach the issue of choosing seedlings healing culture stands carefully and slowly. Guaranteed to guess with the purchase and get a bountiful golden harvest is possible by buying sea buckthorn in a plant nursery. Instances with overgrowth are useful only when there is a need for male specimens. If such a goal, then checking the kidneys of the seedling is mandatory. Experienced gardeners it is advised to purchase and plant young trees in the spring. And in a few years it will good harvest amazing berries, tinctures from which will strengthen the body.
Sea buckthorn is a lot of vitamins and a unique combination of trace elements, almost a complete natural pharmacy that allows you to recover from various diseases. It is used fresh, in the form of jams, decoctions, oils, bases for various medicines. This plant tend to grow in their gardens amateurs and professionals. But if the latter have long understood for themselves all the features of this plant, then the former are still only learning to distinguish male sea buckthorn from female.
Sea buckthorn male- sea buckthorn is a dioecious plant. And this means that in one case only female flowers will be present, which will subsequently bear fruit, in the other - only male ones, whose task is to produce the necessary pollen. Male sea buckthorn does not produce fruits, but is essential for the reproduction of berries. If the whole garden is planted with only female plants, it will be of no use to anyone, because in this same-sex society there will be no pollination and no fruit. But I would like to, and this is precisely why there is a male plant (pollinator tree), which is planted approximately in the ratio of one "man" to 6-8 "women".
Sea buckthorn female- pollinated by a male tree and bears fruit in abundance. Female sea buckthorn is very similar to male, especially at an early age, it can only be distinguished within 1–2 years before the start of the growing season.
We are trying to determine the sex of sea buckthorn.
In the first year of life, kidneys are taken for comparison. On female plants they are small and double, while on male plants they are noticeably larger and sometimes triple. In addition, at an early age, male seedlings are noticeably larger, and female seedlings are lower on average.

If you look at the cross section, it resembles a seagull with outstretched wings. The female leaf is concave at the edges, and the cross section resembles a trough, a boat or a bowl.
In addition, it is worth paying attention to the density of plaque. Male leaves are more bluish, while female ones are green.

Question.
I already had several sea buckthorn bushes growing on my site when I purchased it. This year I expect to collect a good harvest - see photos.
However, I like sea buckthorn so much that I want to propagate this plant and, perhaps, purchase several seedlings of a different variety.
Therefore, I had a question, how to distinguish male sea buckthorn from female? Is it possible to propagate sea buckthorn seeds? How many male plants should be on the site?
Answer.
Sea buckthorn is a dioecious plant. On male specimens, only stamens bear flowers, on female specimens there are pistillate flowers and fruits are formed from them. One male plant can pollinate about six female plants. They need to be planted close to each other, because pollination of sea buckthorn occurs with the help of the wind.
Sea buckthorn can also be propagated in shifts, but varietal characteristics are not preserved. However, sea buckthorn often gives root shoots (root offspring). They can be dug up and used for reproduction. Naturally, the root offspring from the female sea buckthorn will also be female, and the root offspring from the male sea buckthorn will be male. Therefore, the propagation of sea buckthorn by root shoots is preferable to seed.
Female (left) and male (right) sea buckthorn - shoots with buds
When purchased, a female sea buckthorn plant can be distinguished from a male plant in several ways, but not always. It all depends on the age of the seedlings. Up to 3 - 5 years is virtually impossible. The fact is that the difference between male and female sea buckthorn lies in generative buds. Generative buds are those from which flowers appear.
Young bushes form only vegetative buds (leaves and shoots develop from them). These buds are the same in male and female plants.
Generative buds in female plants look the same as vegetative ones, but in male sea buckthorn they are larger, covered with 7-8 scales (they resemble cedar cones in shape). They protrude from the branch, so they are clearly visible.
The leaf blades of sea buckthorn of different sexes also differ slightly. So for women they are stretched from the edges and resemble a bowl, while for men they are bent from the center and look like a seagull.
The bluish bloom, which covers the leaves of sea buckthorn, is more pronounced in the male plant than in the female. If you buy seedlings in the spring, then there will be no leaves on them yet. In autumn, you can try to navigate by these signs. But in different varieties, the leaves vary somewhat in size and color, so these signs are relative.
Now many nurseries offer seedlings of female sea buckthorn plants, to which a branch of a male specimen is grafted. This is a good option that allows you not to suffer with sex determination and saves space in your summer cottage.
Every year, sea buckthorn gives high yield berries, but in order for this to happen, you need to select high-quality seedlings and understand the features of caring for them. For planting, medium-sized seedlings obtained by cuttings are needed. This makes it easier to distinguish between seedlings and coppice plants.
How to plant sea buckthorn
Sea buckthorn has male and female plant species, it is pollinated by wind, so two seedlings should be planted close to each other. A distance of 5-10 m is enough for the plant to be well pollinated and bear fruit in the fall.
Proper planting of sea buckthorn
sea buckthorn female plant
Sea buckthorn male plant
Gardeners advise planting one female plant and two males, since the male is more likely to die, and in general, two plants can pollinate the female seedling much better, there will be more berries, they will taste better. Male plants can be planted next to each other, at a distance of less than 1 m.
Sea buckthorn variety selection
Sea buckthorn variety Chuyskaya
by the most favorable time for transplanting a plant is considered early spring, the sooner the better. She does not survive the winter well if the conditions are not the most favorable. For example, a thaw period has a negative effect on the shrub, and the vegetation begins early in sea buckthorn.
An earlier transplant is needed for plants with an open root system, as well as individuals that can damage or lose the root system or part of it during digging.
It is better to plant sea buckthorn in the spring
Planting a seedling from a container into the ground is an easier process, but only if the plant has existed in the container for a year or more. In this case, its root system is resistant to soil, it is hardened not by the most the best conditions and will perfectly “get sick” the period after disembarkation.
Even if you do not have the opportunity to plant sea buckthorn in the spring, then try to do it in the summer. Some prefer the autumn period, after harvesting, but in this case, the root system of the plant simply does not have time to get stronger before the cold weather approaches. This may injure him.
Sea buckthorn is planted in the garden or in the garden. If planting plants in the garden, then you need to carefully ensure that they are not too close to the vegetable planting area. Garden soil is not entirely suitable for this type of shrub, and sea buckthorn itself with its roots, branching for many meters around itself underground, can cause damage to plantings. They do not lie very deep, only 20-30 cm deep, which makes the root system easy to damage. Sea buckthorn does not tolerate root injuries, it begins to hurt.
Sea buckthorn seedling in the garden
Important: plant the plant in a place where you will not need to cultivate and dig the soil around it. Most often, sea buckthorn is allocated a plot on the edge of a garden or vegetable garden - near a fence or next to buildings.
It is also necessary to monitor whether the plant receives enough light. You should not plant it in a place where the sun does not fall, sea buckthorn needs light, dark places do not suit it.
Sea buckthorn grows well in the sun
Planting sea buckthorn is a simple process, since in its structure it almost does not differ from the rest fruit plants. Some gardeners like to use a lot of fertilizer, which is not the most in the best way affects the life of the plant in the future. Do not overdo it with organic and mineral fertilizers, a bucket of compost will be enough (for transplanting, if you plant a young seedling, then this will be a lot), superphosphate (if the soil in your area has the ability to acidify, then use double superphosphate).
Superphosphate double granular
If desired, you can use complex fertilizer, although this is not the most useful option.
When transplanting sea buckthorn from one place to another, it is necessary to carefully dig out the main part of its roots. Since they are very long, several meters in length, it is unlikely that they will be able to dig a plant without damaging the roots at all. In order for sea buckthorn to take root better in a new place and not begin to fade due to a damaged root system, it is worth cutting off part of the above-ground region of the plant. Of course, this will reduce its ability to bear fruit this year, but in the future such a measure will be useful.
Sea buckthorn - propagation by green cuttings
If the plant is already large and has many branches on the sides, then they can be removed, thus making life easier for the tree. Leave only the main trunk, it will quickly acquire new branches.
It is ideal to plant sea buckthorn at a distance of 1-1.5 m from the border of the site, the rows between sea buckthorn bushes should be 2x2 m. The pit for planting should be 30-40 cm deep and 50 cm in diameter. The bottom of the pit must be laid out broken brick, shell and gravel, the layer should be about 10 cm. Pour over this layer fertile soil, and above - fertilizer (do not overdo it with them).
A young seedling must be at least two years old. It is worth planting directly, it is best to first place a stake in the pit, which will serve as the basis for correct installation seedling. If the tree is not planted correctly initially, then later the trunk can be very twisted, which will lead to the fact that the tree may be damaged in the future.
A newly planted tree should be watered abundantly and the ground compacted at its base.

Sea buckthorn: reproduction by root offspring
After the planting itself, you do not need to be zealous, fertilizing the soil. At this time, the plant needs rest, and unnecessary actions can disturb it. Make sure that there is enough sun, clear the land around the sea buckthorn from weeds, nature will do the rest.
If your plant is already several years old, then there are certain schemes for fertilizing and feeding sea buckthorn.
Some people are accustomed to lime the soil before planting sea buckthorn, lime dose depends entirely on what type of soil in your garden. But for all plants there are certain norms of nutrients that they must receive regularly.
There is a scheme for fertilizing the soil in accordance with the goals of obtaining a certain amount of fruits.
