Sea Buckthorn vs Oregon GrapeHippophae rhamnoides l. Berberis aquifolium (Mahonia aquifolium) SOLD OUT SOLD OUT
Sea Buckthorn is a nitrogen fixing shrub that produces attractive berries high in vitamin C.
Oregon Grape is an evergreen shrub native to North America, found along the Pacific coast. In spring, the bright golden-yellow flowers appear in clusters above the leaves. These flowers eventually give way to edible blue berries in late summer. While not a true grape, the berries appear grape-like due to their colouring and clustered growth. They can be eaten fresh, but the sour taste and high amounts of natural pectin make them well suited for preserves. SEA BUCKTHORN QUICK FACTSOREGON GRAPE QUICK FACTS
