GOJI BERRY
Product Description:
These sweet, super nutritious berries have been renowned for centuries in China for a nearly boundless list of health benefits. Enjoyable fresh or dried like raisins, the fruit is high in anti-oxidants, amino acids and contains more beta-carotene than carrots. The plants have a dense, spiny, vining habit, and prefer well-drained soil with full sun exposure. Goji berries bloom in early summer with lavender, trumpet-shaped flowers followed by glossy, red berries. Naturally disease and pest resistant. Plants are approximately ½–1 foot tall when shipped.
Goji berry plants are 1 year old and ship mid to late April in 3 ½ inch pot. Order early for best availability. Available only within the contiguous US.
