[Sarah Kehler Ewing <skkewing@yahoo.com>]

I wouldn't say the fruit tastes really bad, at least not the ones I have.  We 
bought Sea Buckthorn as the windbreak special (or what every they called 
their small sized, but still named plants) from Boughen and we tasted just a 
few last fall: we think they taste like sour oranges.  They would make 
awesome jelly or juice when mixed off with apple juice.  Hoping my bushes 
grow a lot this coming year and start producing real amounts of fruit.  Sigh, 
that would be the story of all my fruit growing efforts (except the 
strawberries and honeyberries, they are going great guns)>

How much spraying do you have to do?
