@Ray Morgan
Last winter may have been too much for your goji plant. Don’t worry though, it will adapt in time.

My location: Romania
Summer average temperature: 25-35 degrees C
Winter average temperature: -10, -25 degrees C

I have been growing Goji plants outside for three years now. They adapted quite well. I had a FIG TREE that I thought it died completely last winter at -25 C, but then the next spring it started anew from the roots, I guess, because the above plant froze to death. I think it’s better if you just leave your plants to struggle to adapt, otherwise it’s not worth growing them outside. Except most exotic plants, which are not accustomed to harsh winters.

Good luck !

Hi everybody !
Is there somebody out there who lives or close to Aberdeen Scotland ? If so, I need some advice. I planted a Goji seed taken from a dried Goji about two years ago. At the moment it is in it’s third winter. Last winter was quite a bad one but it survived as the bare two foot twig started growing leaves again. No sign of flowers, in fact, no sign of anything apart that it grew a few inches the following summer which was a grim summer, not very sunny and highest heat was 32C.
So, any tips from anyone in my area ? Thanks in advance from anyone who can tell me what I’m doing wrong or any advice at all !!
Cheeres for now Ray.

They all produce fruits. It’s a single plant, which is both male and female. It will need bees or a lot of human intervention to pollinate the flowers. Best grown outdoors.

Hello I have got one question…do goji berry plants need a male pollinator or they all produce fruits?
Thanks!

Dear Virginia, where exactly is your garden located in New Mexico, regarding altimeter and environmental conditions? Is it true that goji berries need specific weather conditions and altitude to produce berries?

Thanks for all the comments. I’m from the Phoenix area and just got a couple of plants from Baker’s Nursery. Does anyone have experience with our severe summer heat? I don’t think we’ll have any trouble keeping the root from being soggy.
