One of the two bushes in the garden is producing a few goji berries. The berries are sweet and pleasant tasting, but few in number. This is the fourth year for this plant, which was grown from seed. The fruit is supposed to cure all human ailments.

I am trying to grow this plant from cuttings. The leaves are edible too.

I put a whole berry in pot covered with a plastic bag. Germination was 14 days. After the clump got large I pulled the excess and left one strong plant. The first year the plant was about a foot high and straggly. A rabbit ate the one shown but it came back. I hope it spreads much more. This as mentioned is the fourth year.
