Potted Goji Berry (Lycium barbarum), also called wolfberry, is a self-fruitful shrub grown for red to red-orange berries. It can be planted in the ground or grown in a sufficiently large container with drainage. Plant form: Potted shrub Recommended zones: 3–10 Sun: Full sun Mature habit: Upright shoots with long, arching lateral branches; unpruned plants can reach approximately 10–13 feet tall and 4 feet wide Fruit: Red to red-orange berries Harvest window: Generally mid-summer through the first frost, depending on climate and growing conditions Other characteristics: Self-fruitful, thorny, container compatible and somewhat drought tolerant after establishment Planting and Care Choose a sunny site with well-drained soil. The supplied growing information recommends soil pH of approximately 6.8–8.1. Water consistently while the plant establishes, then adjust irrigation for weather, soil and container conditions. Prune as needed to manage size, remove damaged wood and keep fruiting branches accessible. This plant is not represented as certified organic. It can be incorporated into an organic or sustainable growing program using compost, organic soil amendments, mulch and appropriately labeled pest-management products. Growing Goji in a Container Use a large container with drainage and a potting mix suited to the plant’s pH and drainage needs. Container-grown plants may require more frequent watering and periodic root or top pruning as they mature. Availability varies by season.
