Goji Berry - 6" Inch Pot

Botanical Name: Lycium barbarum
Common Names: Goji Berry, Wolfberry

Plant Overview:
The Goji Berry plant is a hardy deciduous shrub known for its nutrient-rich, bright orange-red berries. A staple in traditional Chinese medicine, Goji berries are celebrated as a superfood for their high antioxidant content and health benefits. This easy-to-grow plant adds a unique edible and ornamental feature to gardens, thriving in a variety of climates and soil conditions.

Light Requirements:
Thrives in full sun, requiring at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal fruit production.

Watering Needs:
Water deeply and infrequently, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid overwatering, as it prefers moderately dry conditions.

Soil Preferences:
Prefers well-draining soil with a neutral to slightly alkaline pH (6.5–8.0). Goji Berries are tolerant of poor soils but perform best in loamy, nutrient-rich conditions.

Temperature Tolerance:
Highly adaptable, the Goji Berry can withstand temperatures ranging from -18°F to 100°F, making it suitable for USDA zones 3–10.

Growth Habit:
This shrub typically grows 3–6 feet tall and wide, with arching branches covered in small, ovate green leaves. Its purple, trumpet-shaped flowers bloom in summer, giving way to its iconic berries in late summer to fall.

Fruit Characteristics:
Goji berries are small, elongated, and vibrant red. They are sweet with a slightly tart flavor and are packed with Vitamin C, Vitamin A, and other essential nutrients.

Care Tips:

  • Prune annually in late winter to early spring to shape the plant and encourage new growth.
  • Mulch around the base to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
  • Fertilize lightly with a balanced organic fertilizer during the growing season.

Uses:
Goji berries are perfect for fresh snacking, dried for teas, or added to smoothies, cereals, and salads. The plant also serves as an attractive hedge or edible landscape feature.

Health Benefits:
These berries are renowned for supporting immune health, boosting energy levels, and promoting eye and skin health due to their high antioxidant and nutrient content.
