Abstract
The present investigation was carried out to study the variation in morphological characters in different species of Seabuckthorn in cold deserts of Himachal Pradesh. Different species showed variation w.r.t. branch, leaf, thorn and fruit characters under natural conditions. As regards the variation with age in both the species, it was reported that branch, leaf and fruit characters showed increasing trend up to the age of 9-year thereafter it starts declining. In general, it was suggested that 9-year age is the best for harvesting the fruits in both the species where all the characters showed maximum value.
