Pollmix Sea Buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides 'Pollmix') - Male Pollinator
Pollmix Sea Buckthorn is a male cultivar specifically developed to serve as a pollinator for female sea buckthorn plants. While it does not produce fruit itself, its flowers are essential for cross-pollination, ensuring high yields from fruiting varieties like 'Chuyskaya' or 'Prorachnaya'. Pollmix is known for its vigorous growth and cold hardiness, easily withstanding harsh climates down to Zone 3. Typically, one Pollmix plant is sufficient to pollinate up to 6-8 female sea buckthorn plants, making it a valuable addition to any planting aimed at berry production. Like all sea buckthorn plants, it also improves soil health through its nitrogen-fixing ability.
Cold Hardiness Zone: 3
Mature Size: 10-12 ft tall, 6-8 ft wide
