Flowering Period

Hippophae rhamnoides 'Hergo' is an attractive and versatile deciduous shrub, making it an excellent addition to edible gardens, biodiversity projects, or rugged landscapes. This hardy plant not only produces an abundance of fruit but also plays a vital role in supporting local wildlife, making it a smart choice for environmentally conscious gardeners.

Reaching heights of up to 400 cm (13 ft) and spreading approximately 300 cm (10 ft), 'Hergo' features narrow, silvery-green leaves with a distinctive glaucous tint. In early spring, small yellowish flowers appear, followed by vibrant orange berries that cluster densely along the branches from late summer to early autumn. These berries are rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, offering a sharp, tart flavor that is ideal for juices, jams, and dietary supplements.

This shrub thrives in full sun and prefers poor, sandy, well-drained soils, demonstrating resilience to saline and alkaline conditions. Once established, it is drought-tolerant, although young plants should be watered during extended dry periods. Minimal pruning is needed, primarily to remove dead or damaged wood, and a single male plant can effectively pollinate several females, ensuring fruitful harvests. With its spiny stems, caution is advised during pruning or berry harvesting, but its ability to attract pollinators and provide winter sustenance for birds makes it a valuable addition to any garden.

Plant Hippophae rhamnoides in well drained, neutral to alkaline soil, in full sun. Mature plants are very drought tolerant but water well until established. Please note that this plant can be invasive and therefore the planting site should be chosen carefully and plants managed vigilantly to avoid spread.

Live Plants

Dobies strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

What our customers say

"Very impressed with the quality of leek and broad bean seeds you sent. Excellent germination and look forward to a bumper crop. Will certainly be back."

E. Smyth

“I bought all my seeds, potatoes, etc. from your catalogue last year for my new ‘larger’ vegetable garden. I have to say I have never had such success in the garden. The germination was excellent; the quality of plant stock and produce is superb."

Sadie

“I am compelled to write to you and your staff for the exemplary service provided by your company, in an age where the word and term ‘service’ has lost its meaning.”
