Easy To Grow Goji Berry plants
Goji Berry Plants are easy to grow once they are established. They will grow in almost any type of soil, light-sandy, medium-loamy, and heavy-clay, but they tend to flower and fruit better in a well drained soil of moderate quality.
Goji Berry plants have an extensive root system and are very drought tolerant once established. Goji Berry plants prefer full sun to partial shade, but plant them in full sun for the best Goji Berry production.
A Beautiful & Hardy Plant
Goji Berry plants can survive winters down to -15 degrees Fahrenheit and hot summers above 100 degrees. The Goji Berry grows as a thick bush reaching 8-10 feet tall with vines that can get 12 feet long. Heavy pruning of the Goji Berry plant will keep this bush looking nice and will also help it produce more delicious Goji Berries.
In early summer this beautiful plant is covered with small trumpet shaped flowers. Both purple flowers and white flowers are on the same Goji plant. Goji berry plants add colour to any landscape with their delicate flowers. These rare edible plants are available for the first time in the United States from Timpanogos Nursery.
Goji Berry Flowers
Fresh Goji Berries are Sweet & Juicy
In late summer these pretty little flowers are followed by glossy, bright red Goji Berries. The Goji plant continues to flower and produce Goji Berries right up until the first heavy frost. The fresh Goji berries are incredibly juicy and sweet.
Fresh Ripe Goji Berries
Heavy Yields from 4 year old Goji Berry plants
Goji Berry plants begin to fruit when they are 2 years old. Heavy yields can be expected from Goji plants that are 4 to 5 years old.
Grown as a House Plant ?
The Goji Berry can be grown indoors if given enough light. Goji Berries can be grown under a strong, full spectrum, artificial light or they can be set by a window that gets direct sunlight for at least 8 hours every day. It is best to grow the Goji plants outside as they do much better, but we have grown them successfully indoors.
If you choose to grow the Goji Berry as a houseplant, you will need to pollinate the flowers by hand (simply touch the flowers together so that pollen from one flower gets into the other flower). The above plant has been grown indoors, is one year old and has many green berries that are not visible in the photo.
