Harvest sea buckthorn

Sea buckthorn bushes are thorny and up to six meters high, which makes berry harvest a little difficult.
You can laboriously pick the berries one by one, squeeze the berries on the branches (milk sea buckthorn), a rather mushy one Matter or cut off the branches with the berries, freeze them completely and the next day the frozen berries shake off.
Pruning the bush does not harm it; on the contrary, it stimulates the growth of new shoots.

1. Cut the berry branches you need.

5. Put the berries in a colander, gently squeeze them out and collect the juice.
