Special Considerations: Sea buckthorn is dioecious, with separate male and female plants. Flowers emerge prior to the leaves, are localized to the 2nd-year-old wood. Pollination of the female flowers occurs in mid-May and is entirely dependent on wind to spread pollen from the male flowers. Sea buckthorn’s do have thorn-like projections so be cautious when pruning or harvesting the plants.
