Northern Bush Honeysuckle
Lord Sea Buckthorn (Male)

The Northern Bush Honeysuckle is a small, dense, deciduous shrub. The trumpet-like yellow flowers bloom late spring to early summer. Dark green leaves turn yellow then red in the fall. The flower nectar has a sweet honey taste that can be sucked out of the flower.

Because of its aggressive suckering habit, the Northern Bush Honeysuckle makes a great hedge, shrub border, or thicket in a woodland garden.

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.
