1、 Maturity time

There are many varieties of seabuckthorn, and the maturity time of different varieties is different. Varieties from Russia or Inner Mongolia, such as chuissk and Altay, mature earlier and can be seen in early August. The superior Seabuckthorn and orange Seabuckthorn will not mature until late August

2、 How mature

The fruit of seabuckthorn is spherical, with a diameter of about 4-6 mm. The mature color is orange yellow or orange red, and the length of the fruit stalk is only 1-2.5 mm. The fruit contains seeds, which are small, oval in shape, some flat, and about 3-4.2 mm in length. The seed color is black and the surface is glossy

3、 How to pick

When picking seabuckthorn, you usually have to wait until it is frozen. Lay plastic cloth under the tree and beat the branches with a wooden stick. Because the fruit has been frozen through, it is easy to fall down. Of course, you can also use a special picking period to pick. After picking, remove the branches and leaves and put them in bags

4、 Preservation method

Seabuckthorn itself is rich in water and sugar, so if you don't pay attention to preservation, it is easy to breed bacteria and lead to its decay. If you pick it early, you need to put it in a warm environment to make it mature gradually. When it is mature, it should be stored at a low temperature. At the same time, pay attention to ventilation and avoid the entry of harmful gases. Generally, when the temperature is about 1-5 ℃, the air humidity should be kept above 90%. In winter, it can be piled up and sprinkled with water for preservation in the form of freezing
