I tried growing from seed without success ,

No fruit yet. This is a cutting from my aunt's plant last year, it has really shot up this year. I really didn't know it was a Goji berry plant (I don't think she knows either), I really liked the color of the flower.

That's amazing! Goji berries and their juice is extremely popular here in the U.S. It has extremely high anti-oxidants properties. It's considered one of those "miracle" fruits like: Açaí, Pitaya (which I have, it just bloomed), Noni, and mangosteen.

Good to know. I love eating anything with anti-oxidants!

I think I need to cut it down a little, it's gone mad....hight but not bushy.

I hope it produces many berries for you!

Maybe the tips need to be trimmed? I always trim all the tip branches on my tropical guavas. It keeps them nice and compact.

I think I should trim it in spring?

I asked my aunt today where she bought her plant from. She made it from a cutting.....she had no idea it's a Goji berry. She doesn't remember seeing berries but she trims hers very low all the time.

Yes, you don't want to trim out the fruiting branches.

I just read about this plant. It's in the Solanaceae family: which includes tomatoes, potatoes and eggplant. I thought the flowers looked like it belonged in this family.

It's native to southeastern Europe and Asia. It's also called Wolfberry.

Yes, I'd like to see the fruit.

I'm guessing this plant may be available for sale here. Haven't noticed it, though.

I'm sure it's for sale there!

Oh yeah! They're available for sale here. :>)
