Rafter, Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but One Green World is selling many different cultivars of sea buckthorn. Over the past decade, I have purchased several types from them and would recommend you check their on line catalog at onegreenworld.com
My first sea buckthorn was just a common generic form. The selections from OGW have much larger fruit and span a range of characteristics. The ones I have so far I consider to be minimally thorned, but they do have thorns. Perhaps an inquiry to OGW could produce the name of some thornless ones.

Hey folks,
Looking for sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) germplasm resources.
The Shelterbelt Center in Canada says they had a near-thornless variety years ago,
but I can't get an email back from those folks.
Anyone know sources for improved (productive, easy-to-harvest, thornless) varieties?
Seeds, scion wood, seedlings?
Thanks so much for any help.
Best,
Rafter
