View prices and availability
'Hergo' grows into a sturdy shrub or small tree with a broad oval crown and slightly arching twigs. It is a fairly strong-growing cultivar with somewhat more regular branching and therefore a more regular shape than the species H. rhamnoides. The twigs are relatively thin and not very densely covered with thorns. 'Hergo' is a female cultivar whose bright orange fruits ripen around the beginning of September. The fruits are ovoid to short cylindrical.
The fruit stalks are not very strong and the fruits are relatively loose on the branches. According to German research, this makes 'Hergo' the best cultivar for harvesting fruit by machine. This also makes this cultivar suitable for large-scale buckthorn fruiting. To produce fruit, pollination by a male cultivar ('Pollmix') must take place. Hardiness zone 4.
