Goji Berry Plants from Stark Bro’s

Goji Berry Plants Buyer's Guide

Also known as wolfberry plants, goji berries are prized for their extra-sweet flavor, dense nutrition, and adaptability to a wide range of growing conditions. Typically found in high-end health food stores, these antioxidant-packed berries are easy to grow at home—giving you a valuable harvest without the premium price tag.

Use fresh goji berries in smoothies, sprinkle them on cereal, or substitute them for tomatoes in your favorite salsa. If you can use a blueberry or cranberry, you can use goji. They also freeze, dry, and juice beautifully, giving you year-round ways to enjoy their health benefits.

How Goji Berry Plants Grow

Goji berry plants grow as long, rambling canes and naturally trail along the ground unless supported. To maximize fruit production and save space, we recommend using stakes or a trellis to keep the canes upright and well-ventilated.

Plants are deciduous, self-pollinating, and suited for many climates.
As they mature, they may develop thorns, which can be pruned if needed.
Fruit ripens starting in early summer and continues until heavy frost, appearing as brilliant red, oblong berries.

Growing Requirements for Goji Berry Plants

Zone Compatibility

Your USDA Hardiness Zone determines whether your plant will thrive.
Before buying, confirm that the recommended growing zones for your chosen variety include your region.

Goji berries are hardy in Zones 5–9, but some microclimates may vary. When in doubt, consult your local extension office.

Pollination Needs

All goji berry plants from Stark Bro’s are self-pollinating, so you only need one to get fruit.
However, for heavier yields, we recommend planting more than one plant to encourage greater fruit production through environmental pollination.

Responsible Goji Berry Maintenance

Goji plants are low-maintenance and typically require minimal pruning. Still, they can be vigorous growers, and in some regions, may be considered invasive or aggressive.

To ensure responsible cultivation:

Monitor the plant’s spread, especially if planting directly in the ground.
Check with your local agricultural extension office for guidance specific to your area.
