I have it growing in my yard.
Be forewarned, in my experience sea buckthorn is extremely invasive in
zone 5 via underground runners, so watch where you plant it. The two I
have, I am seriously considering killing this spring for that very reason.
I never used the berries - left them for the birds, did not like the
taste of the juice, was rather acidic and astringent. Others may have
differing opinions on it.
