Description

Goji Berry, also known as the Wolfberry, is a resilient and highly productive deciduous shrub native to Asia. Prized for centuries in traditional medicine, it has gained global popularity as a "superfood" due to its nutrient-dense, antioxidant-rich fruit. The plant is a unique addition to the edible landscape, featuring a graceful, arching habit that can be allowed to sprawl naturally or trained onto a trellis for a more vertical, organized look.

In late spring and summer, the plant is covered in delicate, funnel-shaped purple and white flowers that are a magnet for honeybees and other pollinators. These blossoms give way to a heavy crop of oblong, bright orange-red berries that ripen from mid-summer until the first frost. The flavor is a sophisticated blend of sweetness and tartness with herbal undertones, often compared to a cross between a cranberry and a cherry.

Quick Facts:

  • Foliage: Narrow, lance-shaped gray-green leaves that grow along long, flexible canes. The stems are occasionally thorny, adding a layer of natural protection.

  • Fruit: Small, glossy, tear-drop shaped berries that are exceptionally high in Vitamin C and antioxidants. They are delicious fresh, juiced, or dried like raisins.

  • Light: Full Sun is essential for maximum fruit production, though the plant will tolerate partial shade.

  • Growth Habit: A fast-growing, multi-stemmed shrub reaching 6-10 feet tall and wide, though easily maintained at 4-5 feet with pruning.

  • Hardiness: USDA Zones 5-9. It is incredibly tough, tolerating both winter freezes down to -10°F and intense summer heat.

  • Landscape Use: Perfect for edible hedges, wildlife gardens, or large containers. Because it is a relative of the tomato, it thrives in similar conditions and can even be grown in a "food forest" setting.
