My two experiences with this plant are that they suffer and die in rich,
moist soil (here in east TN) and seem to fruit better in poor, unirrigated
soil, such as at the Germplasm Repository in Corvallis.
I recall that Hector noted better growth in marginal soils. Hector, did you
also observe superior fruiting in marginal soil?
Some plants are adapted to fruit in dry conditions and unimproved soils;
this one may even prefer it.

The recent talk about sea buckthorn have made me want to post my
observations about my patch that is now 8 years old. Bought as seedlings
from bear creek I planted them in a row that passed through an area that
used to have a barn and alot of horses (and horse poop) around it.
The interesting thing to me is that at the ends of the row where the
soil is quite poor and N deficient the bushes are big (12 ft) and
healthy. In the middle of the row where the soil is much richer in N and
tilth the bushes have suffered ever since they were planted; stunted and
suffering from tip dieback.
