I liked what I read about it: Heat tolerant and produces a lot of sweet fruit, plus, it was on sale.

Is it possible for Goji to cross-pollinate with a non-related plant? One of my gojis is producing berries and tastes like peppers. I do have peppers planted close by. Thnx.
Christina H on Jul 20, 2016
BEST ANSWER: They wouldn't cross pollinate and, even if they did, the results would be in the seeds not the fruit. Both capsicum (peppers) and gojis are in the Solanaceae (nightshade) family, so what you're picking up may simply be some similarities in flavor. I've eaten gojis fresh that tasted a little like tomatoes and a little like peppers. Gojis take on their own sweet, distinct taste when dried though!
Do these berries act like blackberries and raspberries by spreading underground and popping up somewhere else?
Mona S on Mar 1, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Hi Mona,
well to answer your question yes and no. Yes, because eventually the goji berries i have grown will spread new shoots close to the stem. No, because it is not as invasive and doesnt spread as fast. I like to use a tomato cage or trellis to support the vertical growth and cut back new shoots to develop a stronger stalk.
Are goji berry plants deciduous or evergreen?
Chava W on May 29, 2017
BEST ANSWER: In zone 7 they are deciduous.
how large are the berries?
Greg S on Oct 7, 2016
BEST ANSWER: The berries I get are about the size of raisins.

Goji Berry??
I really meant to order a couple of current bushes, but they were sold out, so I ordered goji berries instead, not knowing anything about them except what I read in the catalog. What a delight when they started bearing sweet little red fruits the first summer! This is their second season, and both bushes are thriving and healthy ~ ready once again, to provide delightful snacks! I would highly recommend these to anyone.

Goji Berry
I was led to believe that Goji berries are sweet but the plant I received and planted does not produce a berry that has any sweetness at all.

Lifeberry Goji berries taste awful.
Unfortunately, only good thing about these several berry plants I purchased are the leaves. I thought that was just my soil that have made them tasted like that untilI I saw a few customers reviews posted on YouTube, they also have experienced the same issues. I think PW should take the plants off the market. No, I would never recommend any Lifeberry goji plants to anyone. It is just a waste of time and money.

Super Goji
Planted this goji bush last spring. It grew very well through the summer and produced numerous berries the first season. This bush has woody thorns that we didn't want our dog to get into. So we decided to dig it up and move it in late autumn. This spring it came back very lush and healthy. We are in zone 6a.
The berry itself is interesting with a taste that is a combination of a sweet pepper and a tomato.

Strong Goji
Little plant was planted just over two months ago.
It got severely sunburned within the first couple weeks, due to our crazy weather.
I thought I almost lost it, but now it's showing how strong it can be.
It's already blooming and has three little berries forming on it.

fruts on the 1st year
The plant that was mailed to me had fruits already on it. I immediately planted them as soon as I got them. It has been two months and it started to bloom. Had to trim the flower buds bec I'd rather that the plant establish itself in preparation for next year's growth. Can't wait for next year's bountiful harvest.

Grow fast
I was able to enjoy many berries by the end of the season. This plant even survived the bitter New York winter.
