BTW, the article states that the plants don't bear fruit the first couple years after planting. That would be true if they are planted from seed. Otherwise Goji plants at nurseries are typically already at fruit bearing age. |
I double checked my plant and it is L. barbarum, which is the only one that can be purchased retail at garden centers here.
Not sure which type the farm has but I'm sure the info regarding fruiting in the article could be an error, or misquote as don't think they would plant 10 acres from seed....probably took a couple of years to just acquire and plant that many. And they probably had fruit those first few years but this is the first year for a commercially viable crop.
