Hippophae rhamnoides 'Hikul' is a male sea buckthorn selected for its reliable pollination and more controlled growth compared to typical male plants. Although it does not produce fruit, it is essential for fertilising nearby female sea buckthorn shrubs. The plant forms a relatively compact, upright shape and features narrow, silvery-grey foliage, giving it both practical and ornamental value. Exceptionally hardy and tolerant of wind, drought, and poor soils, 'Hikul' is well suited to coastal gardens, exposed sites, and mixed sea buckthorn plantings.
