Is this potted plant the same variety of dried berries you buy in the stores?

Hi Evan, Yes, although some of those may be Lycium chinense. There isn’t much practical difference between them. I really recommend our goji plants and am excited to field grow them myself this year.

Richo, Are they from seed or clone? Been told older tree that you clone will fruit sooner than seed? Is a 1 yr old in a gallon container? Thanks, Keep up the good work!-

Hi Bobby,
Right, that is probably true. These are from seed and now a year old. They won’t fruit until next year earliest. We have field specimens that are 4 feet tall and pencil-thick–same stock. Still, I’m not really convinced about goji from cuttings–it is a drought-tolerant plant that relies on a taproot, and seeds make a better taproot than do cuttings. . . r
