Don't want to argue, but I have not seen a single sucker for 16 years in
none of seabuckthorn orchards in my homecountry (but it is not sandy nor
coastal). I read about root suckers as one of the propagation techniks for
sea berry. So far we were able to find only three nurseries in USA which
carry seabuckthorn in very limited numbers and varieties. So at some point
even if in your particular enviroment it will tend to spread by suckers you
can always pot it, so more people can enjoy this nice plant.
