Seabuckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides), a deciduous shrub, is found in<br />
many arid parts <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Himalayan</strong> region, as here in Gozal, Hunza. Rich<br />
in vitamin C, its berries are used to make juice, and its thorny branches for<br />
fencing to keep out animals. The shrub can be used for land reclamation<br />
because <strong>of</strong> its extensive root system and ability to fix nitrogen.<br />
