Sea Buckthorn (Seaberry) vs Japanese QuinceHippophae rhamnoides l. Chaenomeles japonica SOLD OUT SOLD OUT
Sea Buckthorn, aka Seaberry, is a nitrogen fixing shrub that produces attractive berries high in vitamin C.
Japanese Quince has bright, orange to red showy flowers that bloom in early spring. The flowers appear before the leaves and may continue to bloom after leaves emerge. Flowers grow on old wood, so pruning after flowering will help to promote new growth next spring. They produce yellow-green fruit that taste bitter when eaten raw, typically they are better suited for making preserves. SEA BUCKTHORN (SEABERRY) QUICK FACTSJAPANESE QUINCE QUICK FACTS
