FAQs

Is Black Goji different from the common (red) goji?

Yes. Black goji (Lycium ruthenicum) is a related species with dark-purple fruit and a slightly different growth habit. Care and cultivation are similar.

Does it need cold stratification?

Not required, but 1–2 weeks of cool, moist stratification can improve uniformity if your conditions are very warm and dry.

How large does the plant get?

Typically 6–10 ft (1.8–3 m). Prune to maintain size, shape, and fruiting wood.

Can I grow it in containers?

Yes. Use a 5–10+ gallon pot with a free-draining mix and full sun. Up-pot as roots fill the container.

When should I expect fruit?

Plants generally fruit in the second growing season under good sun and care.
