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?
