Guest guest Posted June 19, 2004 Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 Thanks for clearing that one up, Marge. I was grossly mistaken than to assume it was steam distilled. All I know, is that when I add a few drops to a small amount of Vit.E lotion with some rosehipoil , heli, it does wonders for my wrinkled neck C-M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 Hi Marge: I would love to have some of the Sea Buckthorn plants as well. I plan on getting some but not till we get moved to the larger property our son bought for us. Anyway, I was talking to someone a long while back and she uses just the berries and infuses them after mashing them up. Then, she just strains them and goes from there. I don't see why the goodies in the berries couldn't be handled this way because the berries are what are used to make the oil to begin with. Let us all know if you do this and how it turns out if you decided to try this method, will you ?

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 Will do, and if you do it too, let us know how it turns out. Our plants are just little critters (well, 2 feet high) and sitting in pots. Ours too are waiting for us to finally purchase the property-which will hopefully close in a month. They say that the berries aren't too difficult to harvest as you just cut the stalk of berries off the plant. We'll see how that goes.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 Oh gosh, I think I blew it here on who I thought I was supposed to answer. Sorry about that, hon. Where, if you don't mind answering, did you find your Sea Buckthorn plants ? I want some for the new place and also need to know when to plant them, so information would help from supplier. I enjoy experimenting with things like this. Thank you, Jenn - Shimai Sunday, June 20, 2004 10:14 PM RE: Re:seabuckthorn berry Will do, and if you do it too, let us know how it turns out.

I enjoy experimenting with things like this. Thank you, Jenn We got these (as well as most of our fruit-producing plants) from a place called Raintree Nursery by Centralia/Chehalis area. They have a website http://raintreenursery.com/ . I don't know where you are in Oregon but you may be as close to it as I am (we live in Olympia/Lacey). But they also ship all over. We make an annual spring trip there to catch their sale and then spend the rest of the season getting them in the ground. They sell great stuff!! Lots of unusual stuff too. Besides the normal fruit trees, blueberries, strawberries, grapes we have gotten kiwi, sea buckthorn, lingonberries, olive, filbert, service berries and asparagus. And we will soon be getting aronia berries, elderberries, and some more filbert trees. I've seen quinces, paw paws, figs, guava, hawthorn, mulberries, persimmons, pomegranates, and tea plants there, too. Great place!! And pretty dangerous for us. LOL No, they aren't paying me to say that LOL Karen J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 Thank you, Karen. I'll go ahead and go in to look around and see if I can order some of the Sea Buckthorn plants. Should be fun too ! We're still in Medford but will be moving to Cave Junction soon, probably within the next two weeks. Putting a new roof on the new house now. What a mess that job is, lol.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 " They say that the berries aren't too difficult to harvest as you just cut the stalk of berries off the plant. We'll see how that goes. Karen J. " I'm coming in a bit late on this discussion but I thought I'd give my 2 cents. A while back I was trying to find a source for Seabuckthorn so I could sell it on my site. I still haven't located one :-( However, during my search I spoke to several of the farmers in Canada, one of whom was VERY helpful in terms of educating me on Sea Buckthorn. I never knew how versatile the plants were. Apparently the fruits are rather tastey and you can make a really tasty juice from them as well. He did say harvesting them was a bugger. Apparently when they are ripe they will kinda pop on ya when you pick them due to all the juice. However, if you allow them to freeze during the winter you can go out and pick them no problem.
