Coho Raspberry
Orange Energy Sea Buckthorn (Female)

Coho Raspberry is a high-yielding raspberry that is known for having large, very firm berries. They are bright red with a great flavour. Their firmness allows for easy picking and makes them well suited for freezing. They are one of the last raspberries to ripen, allowing for fresh berries later in the season.

They are named after the Coho Salmon which are known for their bright red colouring and late spawning runs.

The Coho Raspberry is a fast-growing floricane. This means that raspberries will not grow on canes the year they first grow. The mature canes they do grow on, however, produce more berries than primocane varieties.

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.
