Description
Antioxidant-rich fruit. Make room in the garden for goji berry plants — they’re easy to grow and are pest- and disease-resistant. The plants bear delicious fruits all summer and require little pruning. Dry the berries like raisins for a nutritious, high-energy snack. Kids love ‘em! While all goji berries are self-pollinating, the presence of a different variety nearby will give you an abundance of flowers and more berries from each plant.

Questions & Answers
Different things like fruit size and hardiness zones as indicated in the characteristics.
Had drought last year, but gave them some minor TLC, they took off.
One bush was loaded with berries into fall. Quite nice to look at. Be aware that everywhere a branch touches the ground, you get a new plant.
Not that I saw last year! No fruit yet this year. Chickens love the fruit though so I suspect birds might like to eat the berries. There were so many that it really didn't matter tho.
Yes they do but, they are small and once you know they are there they are not hard to avoid
Thank you for your question. You can prepare goji berry plants much as you would other berry plants. Lay down a good mulch of straw or shredded leaves around the base of the plant (but not right up to the trunk ... rodents will use it as a bed and chew on the plant). Staking a cylinder of wire mesh around each plant (a few inches away from touching it) should discourage rabbits and deer.
Next year 2019. I live in KS, I bought both the large and small berry, the small berry produces a lot of berries two years strait, the large berry has yet to produce fruit. The small berry sends out runners , you don’t need a lot of plants
Thank you for your question. The age and size information is as follows: 4” pot: 6-12 months old and 4” tall; Small gallon container: 2 years old and 12” tall. They are single plants.
Gojis take about 2-3 years to produce. The gallon size is an older plant and will produce closer to 2 years than 3.
Ideally, gojis like full sun with late afternoon shade. If you can manage that, you'll have an abundant crop. The more shade the plant gets, the smaller the crop, but that late shade does prevent leaf scorch and sunscald.
Yes. This genus of berries does not have the disease-transfer issues that, say, blackberries and black raspberries do.
