Harvesting Sea Buckthorn

While in Secmol, we harvested Sea Buckthorn which grows wild everywhere around here. It is quite thorny and the berries small so the best way to get the berries off the bush is to beat it with a stick and let the berries fall to to ground. We placed plastic underneath to catch them. Upon returning to the campus we washed and separated the leaves/stalks from the berries. After cleaning, we left them in the sun to dry. They will use these to make juice in the spring.
