Why Choose Two-Year-Old Sea Buckthorn Plants?
Two-year-old plants are strong, mature, and have a well-developed root system, ensuring better establishment and a lower mortality rate compared to one-year-old plants.
Benefits of Planting Two-Year-Olds:
- Time and Cost Savings on Garden Maintenance for the First Year: Reduced need for fertilizing, watering, trimming, mowing, pruning, and weeding around the plants.
- No Need for Black Mulch in the First Year: Unlike one-year-old plants, two-year-old plants don't require clean mulch around the base during the first year.
- Workload Distribution Throughout the Season: Two-year-old plants can be ordered in containers (3L pots) and planted at a convenient time.
- 1 Year Earlier Harvest: By the second summer, you can expect a small initial harvest, which can be handpicked or offered to customers for self-picking.
Conclusion: Although the initial cost of two-year-old plants is higher, the overall financial and time savings outweigh the investment compared to purchasing one-year-old plants.
