sea buckthorn

noun

a thorny Eurasian shrub, Hippophaë rhamnoides, growing on sea coasts and having silvery leaves and orange fruits: family Elaeagnaceae

Hippopha rhamnoides, the Sea Buckthorn, is one of the most brilliantly coloured of all berry-bearing shrubs.

The Sea Buckthorn also lends itself admirably for planting by the sides of lakes and streams or at the back of rock-work.

There were a few willow trees here and a lot of sea buckthorn.

The only British member is the sea-buckthorn (Hippopha rhamnoides).
