Hippophae rhamnoides 'Pollmix 2' is a male sea buckthorn grown solely for its role as a pollinator. It produces no berries but is essential for fertilising female sea buckthorn plants, enabling them to set fruit. Pollination is carried by wind, making correct placement important. In addition to its functional role, this hardy shrub features narrow, silvery-grey foliage and exceptional tolerance of wind, drought, and poor soils. Ideal for coastal gardens and exposed sites, 'Pollmix 2' is a practical and reliable choice where fruiting sea buckthorn is desired.
