Seaberry Benefits:

  • Exceptional essential fatty acid content.

  • Nitrogen fixer

  • Hardy from USDA zones 3 (maybe 2b) to 7 for sure, probably 8 (I’ve seen growing in Tuscany Italy and have heard first hand reports of them growing in central Canada where it gets to -50F)

  • Nearly deer proof (very resistant to browse once established and even early on with thorns present)

  • All parts medicinal from leaves to fruit to bark (non fruit parts used as a tea for centuries)

  • Fast growing and drought tolerant

  • Soil hardy – we’ve grown them well in everyting from sandy to heavy dense clay

  • Birds do not harvest them much if at all

  • But great bird nest habitat

  • Needs full to 3/4 day sun minimum

  • Exceptionally wind hardy – great wind heedge and snow fence

  • Salt tolerant – grows on Siberian coastal dunes

  • Bears every year, bears at a young age

  • Flowers hardy to below 20F – exceptionally reliable and resilient in the face of late frosts
