Over 90%, or about 1.5 million hectares of global sources of Specialist write, located in China, where it is exploited with the purpose of controlling water loss and soil erosion. The shrub reaches a height of 0,5-6 m, rarely up to 10 m in central Asia and usually grows in dry and sandy areas. It is resistant to saline conditions either by air or by ground, but has great demand in rich sunshine for normal development and not tolerate shady conditions near to larger trees.
Foliage and Hippophae fresh fruit
The common type ramnoeides the Sea Buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) is by far the most popular, with a wide range spreading from the Atlantic coast of Europe to northwestern China. In Western Europe is largely limited to coastal areas, where salty raindrops sea prevent other larger plants to compete, while in Central Asia is more widespread in dry semi-erimodeis areas where other plants can not survive in dry conditions; also occurs in Central Europe and Asia as a sub-alpine shrub over dendrogrammi the mountains and in other sunny areas such as river banks.

The leaves are eaten by the larvae of the coastal type micro-throttle Eupithecia fraxinata, but larvae of other Lepidoptera, including species Euproctis chrysorrhoea, Cosmia trapezina, Pavonia pavonia, Erannis defoliaria, Coleophora elaeagnisella.
