September Gem Goji Berry Bareroot

Species: Lycium barbarum

History: Goji berries are native to China where they are an important commercial crop. They spread to the UK in the 1700s where they have remained popular as hedgerows and have become increasingly common in North America due to the health benefits of the berries.

Why We Grow It: Goji berries a.k.a. wolf berries are well known in the health food industry for their high antioxidant levels. The plant grows prolifically, and must be trellised or grown against a wall due to it's weeping growth habit. The fruit itself is sweet, with a mild fruity flavour, however the seeds are a bit bitter and seem to sweeten after a mild frost later in the season. The fruit dries well, and makes for a unique tasting jam!
