If you grow goji berries from seed it take about 5 years to get any fruit. At £2 for a packet of dried berries, (lots more for fresh ones), or £9 for 3 established bushes, growing them from seed seems like a false economy to me if it means you're waiting all that time to harvest them.

I think it's well worth buying bushes, but having said that I might grow some *extra* bushes from the seeds in the bottom of the packets of berries I buy 'cos they're not hard to germinate and that's cheaper than ebay.

I got 3 plants from T&M last year and they are doing great in the ground, I think we'll get fruit this year.

Goji berries would be happy in pots, but you might need to pot them up into quite big pots eventually. They have been growing wild in some parts of Suffolk for 200 years and are much easier to grow than most people think.

Not everyone likes the taste of Goji berries (I think they are like Marmite in that respect) but I love them and eat them every day. I can't wait till early and late season varieties are available - if you think it's only 10 years or so ago that we thought growing blueberries was unusual and now you can buy the plants in Woolworths...

I wonder what delicious things we'll all be growing in another 10 year's time!!!
