This plant is a small fruit plant in a 9 cm pot
This small fruit plant is stored in a 9 cm square horticultural pot. These plants are robust because they are more mature than the majority of plants in the range (smaller pot or bare-root). The pot packaging allows the plant to store water and nutrients and thus allows storage before planting in the ground. However, excessive storage should be avoided to prevent the roots from twisting, which would reduce the plant's ability to recover.
These small fruit plants for professionals are certified organic AB
Buying professional organic berry plants from AB allows you to produce organically. Fruits can be sold organically.

Quick read / the essentials on Argousier Pollmix
Sea buckthorn Pollmix (Hippophae rhamnoides 'Pollmix') is an essential male variety for ensuring effective pollination in commercial sea buckthorn orchards. Developed in Germany, this selection does not produce fruit but plays a vital role: ensuring optimal fertilization of female varieties thanks to early, abundant flowering, perfectly synchronized with the needs of commercial orchards.
At Bairiverse , a specialist wholesale supplier of sea buckthorn plants , we offer this high-performance male variety, adapted to French climatic conditions, including high-altitude areas. Its flowering takes place from mid-April, often before that of the female varieties, and occurs before the development of the leaves, thus optimizing the diffusion of pollen by the wind. The different clones available (Pollmix-2, -3, -4) allow us to cover the entire flowering period and ensure continuous pollination.
Buying Pollmix sea buckthorn plants is an essential step for successful planting of female sea buckthorn. Thanks to its upright habit, rapid growth (up to 50 cm/year), and extreme hardiness (-34 °C), Pollmix easily integrates into all types of orchards. Its deep, creeping root system improves soil stability while contributing to nitrogen fixation, which is beneficial for the orchard's overall ecosystem.
As a specialist wholesale supplier of sea buckthorn plants , Bairiverse advises you on the optimal integration of Pollmix within your rows: one male plant for 5 to 8 females, taking into account the direction of the prevailing winds to promote maximum pollination. Whether in association with 'Hergo', 'Leikora' or 'Moldovia', buying Pollmix sea buckthorn plants is the key to ensuring abundant and regular harvests.
Presentation of Sea Buckthorn Pollmix (Hippophae rhamnoides 'Pollmix')
Developed in Germany, Sea Buckthorn Pollmix is a male variety specifically bred for its pollinating qualities in commercial orchards. It does not produce fruit but fulfills a fundamental role: ensuring effective pollination of female sea buckthorn varieties, an essential condition for fruiting.
Origin and botanical status
Native to Germany, Pollmix belongs to the species Hippophae rhamnoides. It is a dioecious male cultivar, meaning it cannot bear fruit, but produces enough pollen to fertilize nearby female flowers.
Pollination characteristics
Pollmix is known for its effectiveness as a pollinator. It typically flowers from mid-April to early May, often 6 to 10 days before female varieties. It flowers before the leaves appear, which facilitates pollen dispersal by wind, the main pollination vector for sea buckthorn.
Several Pollmix selections are available (Pollmix-2, Pollmix-3, Pollmix-4), offering slightly staggered flowering times to cover the entire pollen window for females. It is recommended to combine these different clones in orchards to maximize pollen coverage.
Commercial Use
Pollmix's sole commercial function is the pollination of female plants. It is recommended to plant one plant for every five to eight female plants. This corresponds to a ratio of approximately 8 to 10% male plants in a plantation. To extend the pollination period, it can be combined with other males such as 'Lord', 'Indian Summer', or 'Aley'.
Port, dimensions and growth
At maturity, Pollmix typically reaches between 3 and 5 meters in height, with a spread of 2.5 to 3 meters. Its habit is upright, bushy, and slightly flared. The branches are dense and heavily branched, with a moderate presence of thorns. Its growth is rapid, reaching 30 to 40 cm per year on average, or even 50 to 60 cm in optimal conditions.
Flowering and melliferous behavior
Flowering occurs in April, usually before the foliage. The small male flowers, grouped in catkins, produce abundant pollen, easily carried by the wind. They are also visited by pollinating insects, such as bees and bumblebees, which enhances cross-pollination.
Hardiness and recommended climate
Pollmix is extremely hardy, tolerating temperatures from -25°C to -34°C. It is suitable for all regions of France, including altitudes up to 2,000 meters. It requires a winter dormancy period and thrives in a temperature range of 5°C to 30°C.
Soil, exposure and watering
Like most sea buckthorns, Pollmix thrives in well-drained soils, even poor, sandy, stony, or chalky ones. It tolerates a pH between 6.5 and 7.5. Light to medium-heavy soil is ideal, provided excess moisture is avoided, which can cause root rot.
Once established, it tolerates drought perfectly. A minimum of 400 mm of annual rainfall is sufficient. Full sun exposure is essential for optimal flowering and pollen production.
Root system and adaptation
Pollmix develops a deep and extensive root system. It produces main roots reaching up to 2 meters, as well as a shallow creeping network. This system provides excellent soil stabilization and nitrogen fixation capacity thanks to its symbiotic nodules. It also has a strong suckering capacity.
Resistance to diseases and pests
Pollmix boasts high resistance to common sea buckthorn diseases and pests. It exhibits good tolerance to powdery mildew, gray mold (Botrytis), anthracnose, and root rot. Its robustness and environmental adaptability reduce the risks associated with abiotic stresses, promoting overall good plant health.
Planting conditions
Planting is recommended in the fall, between September and November, or in the spring, between March and April. It is best to plant in moist but not waterlogged soil.
In orchards, the recommended spacing is 1 to 1.5 meters between plants in a row, and 4 to 6 meters between rows. A density of 1,000 to 2,500 plants per hectare is possible, depending on the organization of the orchard and the cultivation method.
Orientation for optimal pollination
Given the anemophilous nature of pollination, male plants should be positioned facing the prevailing winds to maximize pollen dispersal. A north-south orientation of the rows also optimizes sunlight and plant health.
Complementary pollinating varieties
In addition to Pollmix, other male varieties are available to diversify pollination coverage: 'Lord' (early flowering), 'Aley', 'Rudolf' (medium), or 'Indian Summer' (late). The association of several staggered flowering males is strongly recommended to maximize the fertilization of female flowers.
Conclusion
Essential to any commercial sea buckthorn plantation, the Pollmix Sea Buckthorn stands out as a benchmark pollinator due to its abundant flowering, hardiness, vigorous growth, and ability to adapt to diverse environments. Its simple management, its crucial role in pollination, and its robustness make it an essential ally for ensuring the success of female sea buckthorn orchards in France.
To summarize: Sea Buckthorn Pollmix
Sea buckthorn Pollmix is a benchmark male variety, specifically designed to meet the requirements of professional sea buckthorn plantations. It does not produce fruit, but is distinguished by its early, dense flowering and abundant pollen, ensuring effective cross-pollination of female varieties. This characteristic is essential to ensure regular and uniform fruiting in orchards.
Its robustness (resistant to -34°C), rapid development, and good disease tolerance make it a long-lasting ally for farmers. Its deep root system contributes to soil stabilization and the overall health of the plantation. Whether you grow on the plains or at altitude, Pollmix adapts to all conditions, as long as it benefits from good sunlight and well-drained soils.
Buying sea buckthorn plants is highly recommended to ensure the success of any female sea buckthorn crop. Its key role in pollination requires strategic planting: approximately 10% male plants, ideally positioned facing the prevailing winds. Combining with other male plants (such as Lord or Indian Summer) helps extend the pollen season.
At Bairiverse , a specialist wholesale supplier of sea buckthorn plants , we supply the different Pollmix clones according to the needs of your female varieties. Our expertise guarantees you complete support, from technical advice to planting logistics.
To grow your orchard successfully and maximize your yield, consider purchasing Pollmix sea buckthorn plants from a specialist sea buckthorn plant wholesaler who understands the challenges of professional production. Bairiverse helps you build a cohesive, efficient, and sustainable growing system.

French sea buckthorn market in 2025
The rapidly evolving French sea buckthorn market is characterized by a duality between conventional and organic sectors, each offering specific opportunities in terms of yield, economic value, and outlets. Concentrated in the south-east of France, this promising crop is attracting the attention of market gardeners thanks to a growing demand for natural and local products, despite challenges related to production costs, international competition, and regulatory constraints.
Evolution of the French market
The French sea buckthorn market has seen mixed developments over the past three years. Conventionally, there has been relative stability in cultivated areas with a slight increase in volumes, mainly driven by demand from the food and cosmetics industries . The organic sector, for its part, is showing more sustained growth, driven by consumer enthusiasm for natural and local products . This trend is reflected in the economic valuation of organic products, with attractive sales prices such as organic sea buckthorn juice sold for between €40 and €55/litre .
- Conventional: Stable yields between 3,500 and 10,000 kg/ha
- Organic: Increase in cultivated areas, particularly in the Southern Alps
- General trend: Growing interest in high value-added derivative products (food supplements, cosmetics)
- Outlook: The market is expected to continue to grow, driven by demand for natural products and initiatives to structure the sector.
Current market status
The French sea buckthorn market currently presents an interesting duality between the conventional and organic sectors. In conventional terms, the market is relatively stable with cultivated areas that are changing little, mainly oriented towards supplying the agri-food and cosmetics industries . The organic sector, for its part, is experiencing marked dynamism, driven by growing consumer interest in natural products and their health benefits .
- Conventional: Potential yields of 3,500 to 10,000 kg/ha, consolidated outlets with industrial processors
- Organic: High economic value (juice sold between €40 and €55/L, oil up to €300/L), growing demand for derived products
- General trend: Despite a slight decline in sales in supermarkets, offset by growth in specialist organic channels and direct sales, the sea buckthorn market remains promising, with initiatives to structure the sector, particularly in the Southern Alps.
French production areas
Sea buckthorn is mainly grown in the South-East of France, particularly in the Southern Alps and the Rhône Valley . These regions offer ideal conditions for its cultivation, with a sunny climate and well-drained soils. The Hautes-Alpes region stands out in particular, with several producers developing local specialties based on sea buckthorn .
Key technical elements for growing sea buckthorn:
- Main varieties: 'Leikora', 'Novostj Altaja', 'Rockorange', 'Indian Summer' (females), 'Pollmix' (male)
- Agronomic conditions: well-drained soil, pH 6-7, sunny exposure
- Average yield: 3,500 to 10,000 kg/ha conventionally
- Production cycle: entry into production from 4-5 years
Trade and international opportunities
France occupies a relatively small position in global sea buckthorn production, but the market has interesting growth potential. The main producing and exporting countries are China, Russia and the Baltic countries . France mainly imports processed sea buckthorn products, including food supplements and cosmetic ingredients.
Opportunities for French producers:
- Conventional: Development of high value-added processed products (juices, syrups, jams) for the national market and export
- Organic: Strong growth potential in short supply chains and direct sales, with significant economic value (organic juice sold between €40 and €55/L)
- Diversification: Possibility of exploiting the different parts of the plant (fruits, leaves, oil) for the food, cosmetic and nutraceutical sectors
- Export: Opportunities in European markets, particularly Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, which are major consumers of sea buckthorn products
Profitability and financial aid
Production costs for organic sea buckthorn are generally 20 to 30% higher than for conventional production, mainly due to specific cultivation practices and a larger workforce . However, this difference is offset by higher selling prices, with organic juice sold for between €40 and €55/L . Profitability in conventional farming is stable, with potential yields of 3,500 to 10,000 kg/ha, while in organic farming it can reach 1.5 tonnes/ha . Financial aid is available for market gardeners, including combined aid of €1,588/ha for small farms producing vegetables and small fruits, as well as regional schemes such as in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, offering up to €30,000 excluding tax in subsidies per year for investments in market gardening and small fruit crops.
Challenges and future prospects
Sea buckthorn production in France faces several challenges. In conventional production, international competition, particularly from China and the Baltic countries, is exerting downward pressure on prices . Phytosanitary risks, such as the decline of lavender which could affect sea buckthorn, require increased vigilance . In organic farming, stricter regulatory constraints and high production costs (15 to 20% higher than conventional) weigh on profitability .
Despite these obstacles, the outlook remains promising. Varietal innovation and agroecological practices offer opportunities to improve yields and quality. The market is expected to continue to grow, particularly in organic and short supply chains, with growing demand for natural and local products . Sea buckthorn, thanks to its versatility (food, cosmetic, nutraceutical), benefits from the consumer trend towards healthy and multifunctional products .
Recommendations for market gardeners
The integration of sea buckthorn into French market gardening operations represents a promising opportunity for diversification, offering interesting prospects for both organic and conventional farming. To succeed, market gardeners must adopt a strategic approach:
- Carefully assess the local market and potential opportunities before launching
- Choosing between organic and conventional based on available resources and farm objectives
- Invest in technical training to master the specificities of sea buckthorn cultivation
- Explore on-farm processing opportunities to maximize added value
- Develop partnerships with local processors or specialized distribution channels
- Stay abreast of varietal innovations and new cultivation practices
By adopting these recommendations, French market gardeners can take advantage of the potential of sea buckthorn while minimizing risks, thus ensuring profitable and sustainable diversification of their activity.
