The red-orange berries are a prominent superfood that is a common feature in a variety of Asian dishes. The goji berry’s reputation as a superfood stretches back to the third century CE, when it did double-duty as both a culinary ingredient and an integral part of Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese medicine. Dried goji berries are commonly eaten as a snack, topping, or smoothie ingredient. 1. Goji berry plants require full sun—though they will tolerate partial shade—and thrive best in USDA hardiness zones 5–9. If planting multiple bushes, give them about five feet apart; this will give the plants room to mature and give you more room to navigate the crop come harvest time. 2. Prepare the site. Goji berry plants prefer well-draining soil with a pH between 6.5 and 8.0. Amend the soil with a few inches of organic matter like compost prior to planting. 3. Trellis. You’ll need to set up a trellis to ensure that your goji berry plant grows with an upright posture, making for an easy harvest and good airflow. Gently tie the strongest looking new canes to short wooden stakes, or train along a bit of fencing, like raspberries. 4. Plant. Plant your bare root goji berry tree or shrub in early spring, during the tail-end of the plant's dormant season. Dig a hole twice the size of the rootball, and place the plant inside, ensuring the top of the rootstock is level with the ground. Spread out the roots, backfill with soil, then gently tamp down to seal. 5. Water. Deeply water the planting area to help establish the root system. Goji berries typically ripen from July through October. You can harvest fresh berries by plucking them away from the stems. You can even spread a cloth or fine netting below the plants, and gently shake the plants to release the berries. Young goji berry leaves are also edible, with a bitter, grassy flavor that’s similar to the flavor of watercress—you can harvest the leaves for soups or sautés. Add fresh goji berries to smoothies or dry them for an antioxidant-packed addition to homemade trail mix. When you buy my cuttings and plants, you agree with the following terms and conditions.
