Does anyone know anything about Goji berries? I bought three two years ago, they haven't grown much and i haven't had a single fruit on them. I've done well with all my other fruits kiwi's, i think its too cold here!

Yep, me too. I had a bush for nearly 8 years before it succumbed to the weather. This was before people had even heard of them mind, I had it as an 'ornamental' in the garden. It never flowered or fruited, just sort of sat there and petered out. Could be we're too cold, as I'm N. of Birmingham. Can't even blame T&M, as mine came from a gc in Stockport!

I've grown some from seed - from a pack for eating!

This will be their 3rd year and I would certainly hope for a small crop this year.

They were inside (conservatory) for the first year and taken outside 2nd year (autumn). They have survived this winter (3rd) outside with no protection - they are quite hardy so I understand.

They are now showing signs of life and even the weedier stems have just that touch of green showing in the centre of the buds! Some extremities need cutting out as they are quite dead.

So will I get the berries this year - who knows - but according to other things I've read - on a wing and a prayer I should. I will be 'proudly' posting (boasting?) any success!
