It is widely used in commercial production due to its high productivity and pleasantly sweet-flavoured fruits. Berries are amber-orange, averaging 80 per 100 grams, with shrubs capable of producing up to 14-15 kg of fruit. Fruiting begins around 3-4 years after planting, with harvest ready by late August.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSea buckthorn\u003c\/strong\u003e has a complex flavour, combining tropical, tangy-fruity aromas with bright citrus undertones and a touch of tartness.
