Seaberries, also known as Sea Buckthorn, are hardy shrubs celebrated for their bright orange, tangy berries that are packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and healthy omega oils. These resilient plants grow 6-12 feet tall and wide, thriving in full sun and well-drained, sandy soils. In late summer to early fall, seaberries produce heavy clusters of small, tart berries, which are perfect for juices, jams, and skin-nourishing oils.
Seaberries have been cultivated for thousands of years, particularly in Central Asia and Europe, where they were used medicinally and as a food source. The berries were prized for their ability to boost energy and immunity, and seaberry oil remains a traditional remedy for skin health and wound healing. In addition to their edible and medicinal qualities, seaberries are nitrogen-fixing plants, improving soil fertility and making them an excellent choice for challenging sites.
Today, seaberries are gaining popularity as a superfood due to their high levels of vitamins C, E, and K, as well as omega-3, -6, -7, and -9 fatty acids. The berries are tangy and bright, lending themselves well to culinary creativity. The shrubs are also strikingly ornamental, with silvery foliage that contrasts beautifully with their vibrant berries. Their resilience and beauty make them an excellent choice for hedgerows, wildlife gardens, or soil stabilization projects.
