Chinese Wolfberry (Lycium barbarum)
http://eivohk.notlong.com/ 26 February 2008 Chinese Wolfberry (Lycium barbarum)
The Chinese Wolfberry pods were planted on 10 February 2008. Due to ignorance the whole pod was planted, but it is only necessary to plant one seed per plant. They were thinned and the stronger plant will be kept as they get larger. Germination was about 10 days and it appears maybe planting the pod is a good idea, since the germination was probably 100%. The plant is a perennial. Fruit production is in the third and fourth year.
There is an excellent place to grow them in my garden, so it will be interesting to see if they thrive in my Zone 5.
Here is some information about the plant. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfberry

Hey, they are supposed to cure everything that ails you, according to the hustlers describing the berries on the internet. Even the vegetation in salads is touted to have nutritional merit.
I have never eaten the fruit. My interest is to see if they grow. They are just another bush fruit to me, sort of a companion to gooseberries, currents, raspberries, paw paw, fruiting mullberry, ground cherries.
