Cornucopia - Australia

Lycium barbarum

20 years ago

I have read a bit about this berry, its common name is goji berry.

Does anyone know if this is grown in Australia ? If so, where ?

I haven't heard of it popi. You might want to post this over on ausgarden too. A lot of folks seem to be gathering there.

I have bought some goji berries, dried, from the organic shop.

I soaked a few of them, they have tiny seeds in the berry, potted the seeds, and now have one plant doing well, on the window sill.

Welcome to the forum, it's good to have you here. It looks like you may be a plant pioneer judging from the lack of replies. Good for you! I'm sure I'm not the only one who would love to hear of your experiences with them, can you share? I've heard a ton about the berries, but not much about the plant, especially in the desert southwest. Take care and welcome again, Grant

Pitching in my experience so far. This is from the perspective of a grower in a much colder climate that most posting here, zone 5 in New York, so my options are much more limited. Adding Haskap (Borealis and Tundra). I don't make jams or process, only fresh eat. 5f Mulberry (Illinois everbearing) 5f Black Currant (warning: an acquired taste) 4f Serviceberry (Hard to beat the birds to these) 3f Haskap (Hard to beat the birds to these) 3f Gooseberry (so far, still young plants though) Ordered PawPaw trees for spring of 2014, will be a several years of good luck before I can report on those though.

I don't remember if mine was that slow, but it dawdled, then took off & spreading. We are in a rough drought & I have watered it (them?) once since last fall!

Popi, I recently bought some seed on ebay that sprouted easily. They still have it listed regularly.

Hi Popi = I'm growing it on the Sunshine coast - I bought my tiny plant from either herbalistics or shaman australis - can't remember which - google will find them for you, tho I think herbalistics is closed for a month.
