Gojiberry or Wolfberry ...

i have been neglecting this little blog of mine... have not visited...thus have not updated for some time...though several new plants have been added to the garden...there is some free time at the moment so i thought i would post about one of the new plants i managed to acquire.... my gojiberry or wolfberry.

i am not sure if this plant i have is a Lycium barbarum or Lycium chinense... most probably the latter.... seems that it is more heat tolerant ..while the former need more cooler temps....

i had in the past tried sowing gojiberry seeds....it was a total failure...none germinated...and this is my third attempt at trying to root gojiberry.... two past attempts also  failed... alhamdullillah this third try is finally a success....thanx zillions to Dmitri Matievski...my trusted supplier of US plants...



Wonder of wonders...my little gojiberry plant is so impatient to fruit... it has produced two little flower buds.... i do not have the heart to pinch off the tiny buds and decide to leave them be.....
