Description

Lycium barbarum, Wolfberry, Goji berry Plant. The goji berry will start setting fruit in the first to second year. The goji berry is deciduous meaning it will drop its leaves in the winter and come back every year. Goji berries taste great but are rarely seen on a super market shelf due to the berries having a short shelf life. Another thing that keeps goji berries off of store shelves is the time consumption in picking the tiny berries. Goji Berry plants are self fertile so they do not need another plant for pollination. The under rated Goji berry has become popular due to the amount of antioxidants provided in the fruit. Goji berry requires full sun to partial shade- doing best in full sun with moist soil. zones 3 to 9. Plant 5 feet apart.
