Chuyskaya Sea Buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides 'Chuyskaya')

Chuyskaya Sea Buckthorn is a popular Russian cultivar known for its heavy fruit production and relatively low thorn density, making harvesting easier compared to other varieties. The small, bright orange berries are packed with vitamins C and E and have a tangy, citrus flavour, ideal for juices, jams, and health supplements.

Unlike some other sea buckthorn varieties, Chuyskaya is appreciated for its milder taste and higher oil content, which is sought after for its nutritional and cosmetic benefits. Sea buckthorn is nitrogen fixing, enhancing soil quality and providing ecological benefits.
