The year when the patent was granted: 2018
Morphological characteristics:
The plan grows and develops as a tree, with an oval-wide crown, of medium width and density, and of medium growth. The branches are in a semi-erect position, moderately thick, with a large number of annual shoots. The annual shoots are of medium thickness, greenish-grey in summer, well developed, reaching varying lengths, between 20 and 150 cm. The thorns on the annual branches are rare, 5-6 cm long and very sharp.
The aspect of the leaves
The buds on the branches are denser than those of the female plants, which, between winter and spring, when pollination starts, become big and brownish.
The aspect of the buds
The buds on the branches are denser compared to the buds of female plants which, during the winter and until spring when pollination begins, turn brown and become large.
Biological features:
The tree has medium to high vigour and behaves well against the attacks of moniliasis and anthracnose.
The effective pollination period is between the beginning and the end of April, with full coverage of the flowering periods of all female varieties, with rich, fertile and compatible pollen.
Technical recommendations:
-
The Andrei variety imposes renewal pruning every 4-5 years.
-
It is recommended that, in the sea buckthorn plantations, the ratio between the female plants and the male plants should be of minimum 8 to 1.
-
The intervals on which the male plants are planted should be 0.5 m wider.
