Hergo is a German sea buckthorn selection with light orange fruit, a tart flavour and abundant juice, useful for juice, sauces and preserves. Harvest has been reported from late August into September, depending on region; a Manitoba harvest window has not been established here.
Hergo is a female selection. A male sea buckthorn is needed nearby; the pollen is carried by wind. Size estimates range from 6 to 13 ft, so allow room for a substantial shrub.
