Goji Berry
Lord Sea Buckthorn (Male)

Goji Berry is a woody, deciduous perennial known for its hearty, bright orange-red berries. It typically produces light lavender flowers from June through September, with fruit maturation taking place between August and October.

Goji Berry berries are delicious, nutrient rich, high in antioxidants, and are often called a super fruit. Many describe their flavour as being like a tart cherry tomato.

Lord Sea Buckthorn is a male variety that is a pollinizer for female plants. One male plant is capable of pollinating 5-7 female plants. Male Sea Buckthorn plants do not produce berries, but the pollen from their flowers allows female plant to set fruit.

Lord Sea Buckthorn has relatively thornless branches and other well-known features of Sea Buckthorn plants. These include silvery green foliage and nitrogen-fixing capabilities, which improves the surrounding soil.

Can be used to pollinize female Sea Buckthorn plants, including Orange Energy Sea Buckthorn.
