Goji Bush!
A friend of mine order some Goji plants months ago and had promised that I could have one of them. They finally arrived a few days ago and I thought I had better plant it straight away. My friend said the bushes can grow to 3 metres so I got EmBee to buy large pot and some compost to start the process.
Yesterday I set about planting what looks like a little twig and I'm wondering how many years it will take to establish and start producing fruit. According to my information there should be some fruit after a couple of years. So we will have to wait and see and keep our fingers crossed, but I reason if they can grow in the Himalayas in Tibet, they might manage to grow here. In the mean time I will have to continue buying the dried berries.
I'm wondering if there are any bloggers who have tried growing them! Archives:

I've never heard of the fruit before, but it sounds great! Good luck growing it and be sure to keep us updated!
I'm the same as swampangel - I'd never heard of them before either. But now I'm much more wiser, thank to yourself.
They both stole my line. Not only have I not grown them - I've never heard of them. They sound interesting...where did you buy the dried berries.
How interesting! Looking forward to how they grow/produce/etc!
beckie I buy the dried berries in a health food shop but the supermarkets sometimes have small packets.
Not me! I have a blueberrie bush and a peach tree that are this little though! Im really looking forward to them growing up.
Karisma I have 4 blueberry bushes as well and had quite a good crop this year.
Hi Chris,
I have never heard of this fruit let alone tried to grow it. Sorry I can't be of any help.
Why does the compost bag look like it should contain *nappys?
(* that's diapers to your American audience.)
I have never heard of this berry either. Keep us posted on your new plant. what do they taste like? I can definitely use them to get rid of cellulite!!
no idea, have only seen the fruit in the stores...but good luck. great big pot too :)
Sure doesn't look like much, does it?
Dried goji berries are available at my co-op. Amongst other benefits, eating goji berries is supposed to be good for your sexual health.
I've never seen them fresh.
