Nice! I'm growing Eva, Lord, & Mary. So far I haven't seen any berries yet on mine. I bought them from a vendor online in Canada. Planted them in a raised bed 2 yrs ago.
Around here when you use any kind of mulch, you have to watch out for vole damage. Don't know if they're out that way but you'd have to lift the mulch to see their damage.
Nice one. I had Romance cherries do the same thing, the plant from the nursery dies and 2 or 3 new ones take their place but can be hard to tell which is which since it looks like alders, pin cherries, even white birch. Perhaps remove the plastic to see if new ones sprout then replace it? Maybe Botanica does so much better because it doesn't sucker, just a thought thanks.
@@nickkasko2097 It appears so with some vitamins like C and B but the mixture also becomes more concentrated as it is cooked down. But it can also make proteins and other vitamins more digestible. I know with elderberries it is best to cook them because they contain lectin and cyanide. Cooking the berries and seeds removes the cyanide. I think most of the nutrition is retained with having to cook elderberries and I would think the same about Sea Buckthorn.
covering the roots with plastic will suffocate the roots and your trees will die. The best mulch would be cover crops or wood mulch. expose the roots and examine to see if roots have rotted because of the plastic covering. the black color raises the soil temp to above 40celcius and also prevents oxygenation.
@@rezatorabi7158 it’s woven, permeable and breathable plastic. Our summers are mild so heat is never an issue, even with black plastic. Also a layer of mulch under the plastic so soil is not overheated
Don't they taste how feet smell? 😁Could it be some sort of delayed graft incompatibility killing the two trees? (Or are they on their own roots?) If they're on rootstock whatever seedlings are being used might not be compatible with all scions?
Hiya. There are areas on the English coast where sea buckthorn grows rampant, and I mean impenetrably dense. It seems the females are in large clusters, same with males.. it's not like they are evenly interspersed. What I find amazing is they are growing in pure sand dunes, no soil at all. We should believe that they get all the nutrients they need from the sand? I don't know, I find that hard to believe.. Also notable is that you find the odd one that is dead/dying just like in your video. I assume this must be quite natural for this species. I know there are a very valuable resource, I just cant stomach the taste really. The way I am currently processing them: Freeze some branches then you can bang them out on a large surface (set up a perimeter of planks or whatever to contain them) You get leaves coming off too ( I don't bother seperating). Then I will squish this by cramming it into a large pot. The berry skin must break or it won't dehydrate. I then flatten out and dehydrate. You can powder this cake in a coffee grinder as needed, and this also crushes the seeds which contain abundant amounts of oil.

@@projectmalus I don’t really want Titan, the berries are small, production is low, and the tree gets very big
I made elderberry jam it took along time to remove all the stems. I bet that would make some good jam and not as much work.
@@matthewking2209 jam would be tasty but I wonder if any of the health benefits would be removed if the berry is boiled

How old is it? And can you grow from cuttings?
Seaberry don't root very well from cutting. It is possible, but hard. They do send out runners though.
@@ahoomun4848 Probably same for autumn olive as well?
@@yochanontheseeker1942 I planted it about 5 years ago. Its possible to root cuttings but difficult
I wonder if male seaberry can be grafted onto a female seaberry?
@@homesteadrevivals yes it can. I prefer to have a separate tree of it.
To what end?
@@davemaye195 I’m not sure what you are asking
@@davemaye195 people with smaller planting areas might not have room for two shrubs.
@@homesteadrevivals of course......I did not think of that....Thx

On the plus side at least it wasn't the male that died, I guess? Sucks though.
@@paul.1337 they are all on their own roots
Can I buy sea buckthorn seedlings from you? Do you have an online store? Thank you!!! Washington state!!
