Sea Buckthorn

Sea Buckthorn is a neat bush,
it has cute red berries that are great food

they kind of look like a small live oak tree

and they fix nitrogen in the soil, so other plants grow better near them,
they are suppose to require a harsh winter, but I don't have that here, and they are a few of them around,
you don't need to water them at all, and they need no maintenance at all, (they do like well drained soil)
even the elderberry is wilting this time of year (no one waters it),

but the Sea Buckthorn is still doing great.

get seeds here (great seed company, nice guy that owns and runs it)
