Russian White Mulberry
Orange Energy Sea Buckthorn (Female)

Russian White Mulberry is a cold hardy and adaptable tree. It is a great choice for the impatient gardener as it reaches its mature height in a short period of time and has an attractive, dense, and rounded form.

Odd looking berries are produced among a backdrop of glossy, deep green foliage. The blackberry-esque berries ripen slowly over the season, ranging in color from white, pink, and purple-violet. While the berries are not well regarded for fresh eating, they have made tasty jams and preserves.

Orange Energy Sea Buckthorn is a female variety known for its large yields of yellowish orange berries that ripen in September. The berries are juicy with a pleasant tart flavour. They have a high sugar content and are often sought after for their vitamin C concentration. Orange Energy Sea Buckthorn requires a male pollinizer to set fruit.

Orange Energy Sea Buckthorn has moderately thorny branches and other well-known features of Sea Buckthorn plants. These include silvery green foliage and nitrogen-fixing capabilities, which improves the surrounding soil.

Sea Buckthorn plants have male and female flowers occurring on different plants, a male pollinizer is required for fruit production. Can be paired with Lord Sea Buckthorn which is a male variety.
