Hi list,

some time ago I read about sucker producing bamboo, and the author
recommended to surround the area with a wall which would go at least 3 ft (or
was it 4?) down into the ground. Maybe something similar would help in the
case of the seabuckthorn. Anybody has an idea how deep these suckers could
grow?
