Goji Berry Live Plant (Lycium barbarum)

Lycium barbarum is a shrub native to China, with present-day range across Asia and southeast Europe and people in Asia have been using this brightly coloured fruit for more than 2,000 years as a medicinal herb and food supplement. The flavour is tart and sour, kind of like a cranberry, with an almost herbal note. Dried goji berries should be chewy but still just slightly soft. The higher water content of fresh goji berries dilutes its tartness, less like cranberry flavour, and a more like tomato flavour. Goji Berry plants are naturally drought tolerant and prefer well-draining soil. They thrive in the ground in zones 5-9, tolerating temps down to -10 F and will flourish well in the dry west or humid east
