Sea Buckthorn Berry grows in sandy soil in cold climates (mountainous regions of Russia, China, Tibet, Nepal, Europe, Canada) and withstands severe weather (down to-40 degrees). Besides its medicinal uses it is used for erosion control and reforestation. The roots fix nitrogen and enhance the soil ecosystem (like soybean). It has a huge root system. There are over 3 million acres of Sea Buckthorn planted in China. One cultivated acre provides about 3 tons of the berries.

There are both female and male plants and they get from 6 to 13 feet high. The orange berries remain on the bushes all winter. In China – over 130 bird species depend solely on the berries for food. The plant is naturally pest resistant so typically no pesticides are used on the crop.   Synterra Health
