Gojiberry Shrub
Gojiberry Shrub (Lycium barbarum) is a hardy, nutrient-rich superfruit plant valued for its clusters of bright red, antioxidant-packed berries. Long prized in traditional wellness practices, gojiberries have a sweet, slightly tangy flavor and can be eaten fresh, dried, or used in teas, smoothies, and baked goods. The vigorous shrub grows upright with arching canes and silvery-green foliage, producing small purple flowers in spring that give way to heavy crops of berries from midsummer into fall. Easy to grow and highly adaptable, gojiberry is a productive and rewarding addition to home gardens, edible landscapes, or small orchards.
Growing Gojiberry Shrub
Light: Thrives in full sun, though it can tolerate light shade.
Soil: Prefers well-drained soil; tolerant of a wide range, including sandy or loamy soils.
Water: Water regularly the first year to establish roots. Once mature, it is drought-tolerant but benefits from deep watering during prolonged dry periods.
Fertilizer: Apply compost or a balanced fertilizer in early spring to encourage strong growth and fruiting.
Pollination: Self-fertile; each plant sets fruit on its own.
Maintenance: Prune in late winter to remove old canes and encourage vigorous, new productive shoots. Can be trained on a trellis for easier harvest and improved air circulation.
Hardiness: Best grown in USDA zones 5–9. Berries ripen steadily through midsummer and early fall.
Shipping Info
Goji Berry plants are shipped as healthy plants in 9" deep nursery pots. Allow 1–2 weeks after arrival for plants to recover from shipping and resume active growth before repotting or planting outdoors.
