I live in the middle of Germany. Sea buckthorn doesn't grow here, so I'm super confused.
I guess this was planted, since it was along a bike path. I was looking for hawthorn and saw this.
Am I right? is this sea buckthorn? or is this firethorn, which does natively grow here.

Yep. Seabuckthorn. Leaves check out. I was in central Germany last month and my relatives were growing it in their yard, might not be native to the area but definitely grows there.
I just found one with fruit 2 days ago and was also super surprised (Canada). I personally think someone planted the ones I found. There was one female with berries and a male 7-10m away.
Yours had to have been pollinated by a male plant.
