Sea buckthorn is a hardy, fast-growing shrub that thrives in full sun and well-drained soil with minimal fuss once established. It is highly tolerant of poor soils and coastal conditions, making it ideal for hedgerows, windbreaks, or wildlife gardens. Prune lightly in late winter to maintain shape and promote fruiting.
