Great video and tips. One tip that is missing though; Goji berries produce far more fruit when you have more than on variety planted to allow cross pollination! Back in my early years of gardening, I had a single goji berry bush for around 6 years and it never seemed to produced more than around 4-20 berries each year (some years I got more lucky than others). Then I read that they do better when they are able to cross pollinate. So I bought a second variety. The first year the newer plant didn't actually produce any fruit. They year after that, I was absolutely stunned and shocked to see both the new and orrigional plant produce easily in excess of 300 berries per plant. Well worth knowing if you are ready to get rid of your plant because of poor production like I was!

That is an awesome pointer. I thought mine were self fertile. I bought a second variety but planted it too far away yo cross pollinate. I will try some splits this year and plant them closer and check out the result.

Will it cross pollinate with its own runner plant?

Chinese workers building the railway lines in the U.S. planted goji as they went. I've got some started from cutting that I took from a particular tasty goji found near old railway.

Morris Jette My cousin living in Mississippi said she had found these near her property, also. So neat that the plants have survived on their own without needing cultivation. That’s the plant for me! Lol

I have 6 or 7 plants in production. What I don’t eat fresh, I feed to my daughter’s chickens. My mother used to strip the leaves and make a bone soup with it. It’s bitter, but it’s sort of medicinal for us Asian folks. Don’t need to fertilize it either. It is a very tough plant with deep roots. Once established, it can go a long time without watering.

It's generous of you to present this, Dan. Thank you. This will help me in my garden.

My Taiwanese in-laws taught me to dry my own Gogi berries and camomile flowers. They make a delicious tea in colder months and remind me of summer. In Taiwan they call it “Go-ghee”, more of a ghee sound than Jee sound, and it’s a big part of Chinese medicine. My Gogi grow wonderfully in the Pacific Northwest.

Love the new channel, Dan! Plus the flow of your videos is excellent. Lots of information and to the point. Keep it up (:

Thanks for another great video. I found out that my local nursery will have goji berry trees in September. I’m saving all of your videos so I can look at them again for good advice. Blessings to you and your family 🙏🏾

Great tips, built some trellis out of leftover lattice. I had some old tie wire in the shop and used that to tie branches up. Much better now!

This is Awesome Dan!!! Thanks for your contribution!!

Great vid, thanks for all the tips. One thing to watch out for is the tomato and tobacco hornworms. They are the larvae of a hawkmoth, and my plant was almost destroyed by only two caterpillars. I didn't realize at the time that goji is a cousin of tomatoes, potatoes and peppers.

Much thanks for helpful goji berry tips; I'm starting to grow them this spring.

Thanks Dan I ordered my goji bush and this information is very helpful 🌸

Thank you for this video, very helpful!

I just planted a goji bush. I'm excited! Thanks for the info about where to put them since they spread.

I came for wisdom on goji berry growing but my best take away is to plant mine by the chicken coop! Awesome, thank you.

thanks a lot for so many useful tips! cheers!

I have goji berries in Philippines 🇵🇭 and they are giving lots of fruits, super food👏🏻 thanks for more tips.

Great tips and hints of growing goji berries.

Thank you for your knowledge, it truly has helped me grow a more full goji berry bush!

Wow! I think im gonna plant this soon....love it this gojiberry😍😍😍

FINALLY! Someone who uses common sense, and speaks a dadblamed language that I can understand! Great video man! Really good. Keep it simple, and stay safe

Thank you so much for all these helpful tips. I just bought a plant even without planning where to plant it or how to care for it.

Simple straight forward advice thanks.

Really helpful, thanks! I've had some in buckets. I was told I could leave them in 5 gallon buckets!

most excellent thanks; planting my 1st two plants today

hi Dan I've had a goji berry plant in a pot for 2 years and nothing, this spring I put in the garden and it is enormous! and got flowers and small green fruit buds coming and I can't wait to try them fresh because I don't like the dried ones. thanks for the info video I'm in the midlands England

Really informative videos, love the other channel too, Thx.

Very cool. Thank you very much!

Outstanding. Succinct and relevant information.

Great video! Thank you, I read somewhere that Goji's don't like fertilizer. And I believe that the more you pick, the more you get.

Thanks a lot ...This is a helpfull explication . Greetings from Belgium !

Thank you for right off the bat specifying what zone they grow in. A lot of wonderful tips. Now that I know that they'll grow in my zone I will run out and buy some. Great video keep up the good work.

Ty4sharing Dan. Greetings from west central Florida. Wolf🐺 👍

(: wow thanks for the nice tips Dan ! Always learning something new for you ! All your videos are awesome and full of GOOD advice! Thanks again man!! 🤙you should add a Mango tree ;)

Thanks for the video. I have 6 plants and may add more around the chicken coop I want to build. I wouldn't say Goji's are delicious but they aren't bad tasting either. Thanks for the advice.

My bushes used to lean all the way to the ground so i build a PVC cage system that gives them something to lean on. I used PVC because it was easier on the stalks than wire. Its just a simple box frame and it works awesome.

Thanks a lot! I’ve had it for years in a pot and was wondering where the best place was. I started backyard chickens a few months ago and I will utilize my goji for the same barrier enhancement! I just started a chicken run expansion using hog wire + poultry wire just like yours so I will add it to the exterior when I’m finished

Had mine for 3 years in a 2 gallin pit. Flowered but no fruit. Didnt realize how large their root system is, will need ti repot. Thanks for the useful tips for the future. Subbed and liked :)

LOVE IT

Very interesting and useful video. I would like to grow goji in my new, small garden, zone 8/9. Any tips for where to get organic seed and or seedlings in the UK and best way to grow for this climate? Thankyou for any advice, R.

Love the video ❤️

great info

just hit 1k likes, awesome content sir, and greetings from South America

Thank you. I just bought one and I’m hoping I can grow it for maybe a year or two in a pot

Thank you!:)

Great video.

THANK YOU. I HAD FRIEND GIVE ME SOME GOJI BERRIES. NOW I KNOW WHERE TO PLANTS.

Thanks!

great video

Hi new sub like you style and chickens...very relaxing

Thanks

Would you cut out older, or larger stems, to thin out, thank you so much for the help

I liked it.

deer love pruning them for me in the spring.

Appreciated the pruning thoughts. Thank you. I was thinking that the new plants that start in my yard were from berries that dropped from the plant or from birds dropping them because there does not seem to be roots attached to the main plant. The roots just go straight down and once I dig them out they do not come back again. I have been growing them for 5 years and always have lots in the freezer to have with breakfast on granola.

Wow! Thank you, this is very helpful! Will the runners cross under the retaining wall to my neighbor's yard???

Lemon grass is great for mulching too. 😉

If you think about it it's a really good idea Dan. You grow all this food now here's some really tasty ways of how to eat it

love the fact they tast like raisins. grow them also ... as shown in my videos

Nice

Thank you, question?, Do you prune out the older bigger stocks?, Sincerely Rick

Thank's Mr Dan for sharing your ideas ❣️I have 1 goji plant in ground 1 in pot and I just bought 1 more pot from Lowe's yesterday they all 5 gallons side also a small 4'' pot black goji online. Big help for me. Thank's again ❣️ Vân

Just watched a youtube on them from Canada. The plants were twice a big as mine ever were here in Georgia.

Hi, how long do you prune the stalks from the base? TY.

Will Epsom Salt help the Goji berry plant? Awesome video, again. Thanks a lot.

Thank you. I was hesitating to plant this one I purchased. I just need another trellis and some acreage lol. I'll sub to the other channel also.

I live in zone 6 on a ridge that gets a lot of wind. Can they take that? In the winter it's mighty cold. Should I put up something to block the wind in the winter? Also, for free tie ups, use bread twisties. They are plastic coated with wire in them. I have used them hold up small fence on a gate to keep baby goats in and after 3 years they're still holding up great. Twist several together to get the length needed.

Any tips for wintering goji's? Do you have to do anything special with them?

I bought a goji berry plant last year and I have almost kill it out two times. I've kept it in a pot because I've been afraid it couldn't grow it in the ground in central Texas.

Thank you for the excellent tips! I also like how the Goji berry plants serve 2 purposes. Super cool. =)

Awesome. Great patch of Gojis. Did you do anything special with fertilizing to get it to produce so well or do you add fertilizer from the Chickens? I have a video that I've don'e for Growing Black Goji Berries from seed if you want to take a look. "Black Goji Berry Update"

Hi Dan i plan to plant goji berries and cold hardy Russian pomegranates alont a cattle panel style fence. Do you think when the gojis eventually sent off runners they will disturb the pomegranates?

Wow, once a doc, always a doc. 👩🏻‍💻😁

The gogi berry plant is 3 months old in full son, which I water when dry. The stems are about 2 1/2 feet tall but, no flowers yet. I live in Houston TX. Is this normal and what can I do to speed up the process? Can you please help. Thanks so much for your knowledge and help.

I have a goji plant a couple of years ago ago & the fruit that grew were small , any reason for that?

They grow quite well in Michigan, which is zone 2 which I believe it is

Yeah, I’m in northeast Indiana, have never pruned my gojis, and realized they were hiding all my lillies, butterfly bushes and other bloomers. Ugh.... I’m such a bad plant mom. This video and a few others I just watched have enlightened me today. Had a pretty good harvest last night. Debating about using the leaves. Sounds like a plan, but not really sure how to use them. Any tips?

Best price and place for your plant clips?

I have three different kinds of Gozi : two red-orange in color and one yellow but they don't have thorns at all. And all of them are very sweet and juicy...a bit taste of sweet tomatoes.

Haha I just couldn't remember what I'd bourght from the shop. But yes it is goji. It's a real spindley looking shrub. I've got it In a container doesn't seem to be doing great, but heard tomato feed is good. And might mix in some sand for drainage.

Dan, love your chicken.

Does your varieties grow thorns as well?

How well do they grow in Arizona and in containers

Hi, my plants are showing no sign of flowering (3rd of July in UK) and the leaves look quite pale/white/dry. What does it mean? They're in pots and well watered in the saucers, Thanks.

Maybe i try to my small backyard

Would putting them in 5 gal nursery pot with the bottom cut off planted in the ground prevent the runners?

What state are you located in? I am going to try gojis again. I read they like full sun, but when I left them in full sun...they burned up. I think I am going to keep them indoors this time until I have a thriving root system & then transplant them. Hopefully that gives em a better chance

I live in Georgia with good ol' red clay. If I dig a large hole and fill it with good soil, will the plants be able to handle the clay once they are large enough to outgrow the hole? I tried growing them once, but they didn't survive.

Dan, Which Goji variety are you growing? From what I've read, some Goji varieties taste good, while others don't.
