    Sorry never heard of them - sounds interesting. Perennial i take it from price and 2nd tear fruiting. Does it also taste like a tomato as well as look like one? It has a good name. Does it grow outdoors or green house?
    Whoops sorry didn't mean to as so much.

          Hmm. Just googled it. Comes from the Himalayas, frost tolerant to -15. Some company is selling the juice at £13 plus per litre. (Honestly!!) Get crushing Murfe 18! Your fortune awaits you.

              That's why they are charging so much for the juice. It cures death if you believe the blurb!

                  i cant find them! my mum is a nutritionist n i can definately confirm that goji berries are very very good for you but in moderation as they still contain fruit sugars.

                      they really are yummy tho, we normally buy a 1kg bag for about £20 and that lasts ages so long as you only have a handful a day. easyer said than done tho i must say

                        How big do they grow? Tyring to decide how many to buy. Unfortunately the free postage offer seems to be over.

                            A bare rooted plant is currently £6.49 (or £9.99 for 3 or £19.99 + 6 inc 12 strawberry plants) with T&M at the moment. Thinking about getting one for something different but not decided yet.

                            Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

                            Which one are you and is it how you want to be?
