Sea buckthorn is a deciduous shrub that is native to Asia and Europe - and of course to Finland. It is known for its distinctive, bright orange berries and its ability to thrive in harsh, coastal environments. The shrub has long been used in traditional medicine, and its berries are a rich source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, vitamin E, and carotenoids. In recent years, sea buckthorn has gained popularity for its health benefits, and its juice and oil are commonly used as dietary supplements.
Sea buckthorn is also used in cosmetics, as its oil is believed to have moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties. In addition, sea buckthorn is prized for its ornamental value and is often used in landscaping and gardening. The shrub is easy to grow and is tolerant of cold and wind, making it a popular choice for coastal areas. Whether you are interested in its health benefits, its ornamental value, or its ability to thrive in challenging environments, sea buckthorn is a versatile and fascinating plant.
At Beyond Buckthorns we have several Sea buckthorn shrubs in different Zones
When Lumia and I moved to Finland in 2016 we started observing right away. We discovered micro climates, areas where edible fungi grew, natural trees nurseries, etc. We also noticed one particular area. An area that somehow seemed out of context…
It's now time to pick the sea buckthorns, our name-giving plants delicious and vitamin-filled berries.
In June we got some new sea buckthorn plants and around one of them we decided to create a small mandala garden.
