Hi Goosey,
its called Sea Buckthorn - Hippophae rhamnoides, we have it along certain coastlines here in the UK. The berries are a rich source of vit C. One of our outdoor enthusiasts on TV called Ray Mears collected a load of berries on one of his programmes squidged them into a paste, put them through muslin to seive out the bits before drying the resulting mixture into a sort of chewy stick.
