sea buckthorn seedlings, from seed I collected in the fall

sea buckthorn seedlings, from seed I collected in the fall from a bush that was nearly thornless. I was kind of a treat just stripping the fruit off the small branches without finding the usual spines tipping every small branch. Usually when you collect sea buckthorn, it's just easier to prune some branches. The seedlings will have been pollinate by a male plant somewhere nearby so the thornless trait will likely show up in some but not all of the seedlings. Maybe I should take some cuttings..
