  • GOJI Berry

    Getting a GOJI Berry tuber from T&M to try this year, anyone else tried growing this plant? I hear it's very hardy (coming from the Himalays) so should stand up to the freezing north of england winter pretty well.

      There's a thread on Allotment Advice about goji berries.

        Leona Thompson and Morgan had a big add for these in the Times on Saturday

          And in the Guardian - I wonder if they overstocked - or overestimated the interest?

              i looked into the seed option but i asked how long it takes for them to fruit and they said about 5 years. i am just not that patient! i dont read news papers so thats how the whole thing passed me by, ordered 3 plants now though, just have to find space for them!

                goji Berries

                Does anyone know how big this grows as from the looks on the T&M site is like a tree? We are not allowed trees on our allotment but can have dwarf stock trees. Was very tempted but the T&M site did not give very many details

                  Max 3 metres tall but if pruned to be bushy about 2metres tall x 2 metres width I believe.

                  Warning: if growing from seed: the young plants do not like waterlogged soil... My 20 seeds have now become around 15 plants: dampening off I suspect.

                    OH loves gojis, and went she foudn out they were available from T & M, ask me to ordered some. Well, they arrived and are all planted.

                    Now I've been wondering whether it is possible to fan-train one of them?

                      I think they're stocking lots because of the Superfood connection...blame Gillian McKeith! They apparently can grow ten foot tall, or as a houseplant (!) see here for nice pix

                        ooo they look yummy. The dried berries are a bit like eating cardboard but the fresh ones look nice and juicy. wouldn't mind having a go at growing some if I could get my hands on some seeds lol. are they very expensive? (the seeds, that is)

                            I bought mine on UK ebay approx £2 delivered for 20 seeds. As they grow to about 3 metres tall ,1000 seeds is excessive. Better buy some UK berries and save the seeds. They appear very fertile - all mine germinated...
