The Wild Red Raspberry produces small, tart, red berries. They are delicious when eaten fresh, but also add flavor to preserves or desserts. They are highly suckering and can be high yielding.
The Wild Red Raspberry is also otherwise known as the American Red Raspberry, European Red Raspberry, Grayleaf Raspberry, or the Common Red Raspberry.
The Wild Red Raspberry are floricanes, primarily fruiting on second year canes. Each spring cut back all two-year old canes, leaving only the last year’s growth. This is a self-pollinating variety, so it doesn’t require a second plant nearby to set fruit.
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.
