Goji plant growing fast..need input
Comments (7)You need to prune it to create a desirable canopy. Leave only one or two main stem, remove other branches. cut off the growing tip of the tallest stem to stimulate horizonal branches growth. Don't worry, new shoots would come out very quickly. One more thing you might need to consider- put it to place receiving more sunshine. good sunshine is necessary for blooming and yielding.

In most cases this is a 10-25 expense and well worth it as it will also tell you what will grow well and what will not in your particular soil. Many of the comments contain "blowing over" and the CEC/base saturation part of the test will tell one why. It has 3 parts - Ca,Mg & K. If the K figure is less than 4 you will get lodging(blowing over) in a 20 mph wind. Mine is 9 and 40 mph+ are common to my area but my corn risists wind, polecats and coons trying to push it over. Another important item with this crop is that it needs phosphorus in the initial growth to produce strong roots and as corn has two sets with the nodular being the production one, you have to till or spade this into the ground. It will not leach. The present record is over 500 bu/ac and you work that down into a small space you will find that you really can grow a lot....See MoreNeed fast growing plants for privacy

I currently have virtually no landscaping at my house with the exception of a pond and grass. I need suggestions for a fast growing wind/privacy break to about 6 ft. height, along with plantings that will survive the area. Any suggestions would be appreciated....See Morejoepyeweed
