Where is the best place to plant sea buckthorn (environmental conditions in areas where sea buckthorn is suitable for growing)

Where is sea buckthorn suitable for growing?

Sea buckthorn is suitable for growing in a wide range of areas, from the northeast of northern my country to central Henan and then to Guangdong in the south.

It is currently widely planted in Hebei, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai, western Sichuan and other regions in China.

Sea buckthorn is not afraid of high or low temperatures. It has very strong resistance to drought and barrenness and has strong adaptability, so sea buckthorn can also be planted in the southern region .

Moreover, seabuckthorn has low requirements for soil and can grow in any soil that is not too sticky. It is now mainly planted in the northwest region and is very common in the Loess Plateau of China . Below we will have a detailed understanding of the environmental conditions for the growth of seabuckthorn.

① Temperature

Seabuckthorn has strong adaptability to various complex climatic conditions. It is cold-resistant and heat-resistant. Generally, seabuckthorn can still grow well when the annual average temperature is below 0℃, because seabuckthorn can withstand ground temperatures of 60℃ and severe cold of -50℃ .

② Lighting

Sea buckthorn is a plant that prefers light and has strong adaptability. It can be planted and grown on shady slopes, sunny slopes, mountain tops, and valleys.

③ Water content

Seabuckthorn is highly adaptable to the changes of wind, sand and rain in nature. In windy and sandy areas, trees and other shrubs cannot grow, but seabuckthorn can grow, and seabuckthorn is drought-resistant and resistant to wind and sand .

Generally speaking, sea buckthorn can grow in areas with an annual rainfall of 250 to 800 mm, and grows well in areas with an annual rainfall of 300 to 500 mm.

Therefore, sea buckthorn trees are suitable for growing in dry and rainy environments. The environment in Guangdong and Guangxi is humid and rainy, which is not suitable for the growth of sea buckthorn .

④Soil

Seabuckthorn has a strong adaptability to complex terrain conditions and can grow in mountains, hills, plateaus, plains, and slopes.

Sea buckthorn grows in Jianping County, Liaoning Province, at an altitude of 200 meters, and in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, at an altitude of 5,020 meters.

Seabuckthorn has strong adaptability to various soil conditions. It tolerates barrenness, salt and alkali, is not very demanding on soil, and can tolerate alkaline conditions of pH < 9.

In the Qaidam Basin, seabuckthorn can grow normally on the saline-alkali land of the Gobi Desert. However, soil conditions are closely related to plant growth and fruit yield. Seabuckthorn grows well and has high yields in fertile, loose, high-humus, and nearly neutral soils.
