A native fruiting shrub, with some similarity to sea buckthorn.   The fruit has a similar bright citrus taste, the branches have thorns though they're easier to pick than sea buckthorn, the fruit come off easily if you can watch for the thorns at the tips of the branches. We pick them without trimming the branches, which is a common practice for sea buckthorn.  Our seedlings are grown from the yellow fruited variety, and plants will be mixture of genetics with either red or yellow fruit. There are also male and female plants, for the best fruit production make sure to plant several.  

It's a nitrogen fixer, and can handle poor soil conditions. They will tend grow very bushes and spread through rhizomes.  They can grow in full sun or partial shade, you'll get better fruit production in full sun.

Cold Hardiness Zone: 2
Seed Source: Manitoba
