Goji Berry (Lycium Barbarum) Rich in Vitamin C and other nutrients, the Goji Berry, also known as wolfberry, is now quite widely grown for its health benefits. Not a plant for small gardens or colder areas, it is a vigorous, spiny shrub best grown against a warm wall, so that the lax stems can be tied in for maximum fruiting. The berry is long, bright orange-red when ripe and full of little yellow seeds. The berries can be harvested over a long period, as they tend to blacken when bruised, they can be ‘picked’ by gently shaking the plant. Will tolerate seaside locations.
