About this item:
– The Seaberry is a versatile ornamental shrub known for its edible and visually appealing fruit. Traditionally valued for its ecological and medicinal uses, it is also utilized in the cosmetics industry. The plant is extremely cold hardy and thrives in a variety of climatic conditions. It is often used in landscaping as a border shrub and for security due to its spiny branches. Additionally, Seaberry plants function well as windbreaks and are excellent for providing habitat and shelter for birds and small mammals.
– These shrubs adjust well to different soil types, including nutritionally poor soils, sandy soil, and heavy clays, and are good at fixing nitrogen in the soil. Their deep root systems make them effective for preventing erosion and reclaiming land.
– Seaberry shrubs are commercially cultivated for their fruit, which is high in vitamins C and E. The orange berries can be eaten raw or used in various dishes and beverages. Leaves of the plant can be dried to make tea. The berries become less acidic after being exposed to frost or when cooked, and their vibrant color and long-lasting nature provide winter interest and food for birds.
