About Hippophae rhamnoides ‘Hergo’ & ‘Pollmix’

‘Hergo’ is a female buckthorn known for its rich fruit set with bright orange berries. These berries appear in autumn and are rich in vitamin C. A male pollinator is always needed to bear fruit.

‘Pollmix’ is a male variety used specifically for pollinating female buckthorns. The male plant does not bear berries itself, but is indispensable for a good harvest. One male plant is sufficient to pollinate several female plants, provided they are in close proximity to each other.

Sea buckthorn forms narrow, grey-green leaves in summer. In autumn, the plant loses its leaves and is bare above ground in winter. In spring, the plant sprouts again. This seasonal pattern is part of the plant's natural growth.
