Sea buckthorn, also known as Hippophae, is a plant species that thrives in temperate to cold regions and mountainous areas. Its silvery-green leaves and bright orange berries are a feast for the eyes. But sea buckthorn is also a vital treasure for the ecosystems to which it belongs.
Sea buckthorn is renowned for its ability to fix soil. Its extensive root system limits erosion. Its deep roots also encourage the development of micro-organisms that promote soil fertility.
Sea buckthorn shrubs are dense, providing a habitat for local wildlife. They can withstand temperatures as low as -30°C. Nutrient-rich sea buckthorn berries ripen in autumn. They can then provide one of the few sources of energy for local insects and birds.
La Maison de l'Argousier owns its own sea buckthorn grove, which is farmed organically. It participates in scientific work on this natural nugget.
Sea buckthorn is much more than just a plant. It's a treasure of nature, both for its ecosystem and for mankind. By protecting this little shrub, so little known in our Latin lands, we are preserving our planet's biodiversity and investing in our own well-being and health.
