Botanical family
Elaeagnaceae
1 plants
The oleaster family. Sea buckthorn — our only representative. Very robust, salt-tolerant, nitrogen-fixer. Needs male + female plants for fruit set.
Crop rotation
For Elaeagnaceae: rotate the spot every 1-2 years; don't follow with the same family the next year. Legumes (beans, peas) are a safe predecessor in most cases.
Nutrient distribution
How many plants in this family are how hungry for nutrients. Raised-bed soil exhausts quickly after heavy feeders — follow with nitrogen-fixers.
