How to calculate the required number of plants?

To calculate the number of sea buckthorn plants you need, consider the following parameters:

  • Planting distance between rows - 4 metres (can be 3,5-3 m if narrow-row cultivation)
  • Planting distance - 2 metres between plants (for optimum sun exposure of bushes)
  • Preferred planting direction: north to south (for a uniform crop)
  • Free or tractor turning zone at field ends - at least 8 metres
  • The optimum number of plants per 1 ha is 1,250 pcs.
  • 1 male plant (pollinator) per 8-10 female plants

Available for booking:

  • One-year-old bare-roots - L size
    * In commercial gardens, one-year-old bare-root plants in size L are most often planted - this is the optimum price/size ratio. Easiest/cheapest to transport.

  • One-year-old bare-roots - M size
    * M-size seedlings will be cheaper but may have a higher drop-out rate in the first year, but this option is also quite often chosen for financial reasons or simply because there are no other seedlings available.

  • Two-year-old container plants - XXL size
    * The main advantage is that they can be planted out of pots at any time, where as bare-root plants are planted only in spring, as soon as the ground thaws. Plus all the other bonuses - saved one year's costs for mowing, weeding, fertilizing and watering. Harvest one year earlier.
