  • Goji Berry Bushes

    Hi - I have avery small garden and was given a rather sickly Goji Berry bush. I realised that it had been over watered and planted too deep in the pot and remedied these problems - it instantly began sprouting and looks healthy considering its bad start. However it is very small.

    Any help - advice - enocuragement would be wonderful. I can only grow in containers or pots (hoping to move to a bigger plot sometime in the future).

    Just want to say hello and welcome to the vine, and sorry, can't help with the Goji berry.

              Hello and welcome to the Vine.

              I'm not sure how much help this is really if you're limited for space but I had some Goji bushes in builder's buckets that failed to thrive - on planting into soil though they're looking much better. I guess the compromise would be the biggest pots you can accomodate?

              Good luck anyway

                Thanks for the welcome - my first message board/group etc so a bit apprehensive. Many thanks. Regards Phil

                  Hi - thanks for the reply. I have been told that it is evergreen and mine seems extremely robust. I have read a little and it grows in the Himalayas so can survive down to -15c without feeling the strain; what I have discovered is that it seems (or at least my plant does) not like to be water logged or watered too much.

                  Hope this is of use - as I learn more I will post in the hope it will help any that are interested.

                  Regards - Phil

                      Hi - thanks for the reply. I have it in a very small pot and in a sheltered shady plot; it seems to still be recovering from it's overwatering. I shall transplant it in the spring (?) into a large round pot and give it some good soil in the hope of a real burst of growth and maybe some fruit. Now it's getting colder I can't wait for spring.....

                      Regards - Phil

                        Warning:
                        I am growing some.

                        I have read that they are forst resistant down to -15C as above... once they are established.

                        So I've put all mine which are 8 months old - in pots in the greenhouse for winter.(We have cold, wet and windswept winters)
