    Let us know if you find any, I've been looking on and off in nurseries for ages but not found any.

    Last ones I had were washed away by the sea :(

    I have a load of them growing around my place, I can't remember where I bought them but it may have been Future forests.
    They do spread quite aggressively, I have cut mine back several times, they are hardy plants.

    Sorry, this is a bit of an aside, but when I looked up seaberry - a name I didn't recognise - I found they were Sea Buckthorn, and there was the name of a firm supplying them. In the event it wouldn't be a lot of use to you, they mostly supply in minimum of 100, though they do say you can pick up smaller quantities direct. However what amused me was the somewhat peremptory tone of the site. Read the 'contact' page!

    Thanks for this, but I had a look on their website last morning and the lowest quantity is probably 10ish which I don’t need so many. If can’t get them here I will order them abroad.

    Cheers

    I have bought from them and found them very helpful. My order was maybe 30 plants of various sorts, including a few single varieties.

    I notice what I call Blackwater Nurseries near Youghal lists it on their website https://clarenbridgegardencentre.ie/online-garden-shop/bare-root-hedging-page-4/sea-buckthorn-40-60cm/ but had to tell which of the two nurseries on that website has it or if both do?

    I'll try and make a visit to the Waterford one early next month.
