Lycium chinense Seeds (Goji Berry)

The Goji Berry, scientifically known as Lycium chinense, is a deciduous woody perennial plant native to East Asia. It is commonly referred to as Chinese boxthorn or wolfberry. This plant typically grows up to 6 feet tall and has long, arching branches with green leaves and thorny stems. It produces small, bright orange-red berries that are highly nutritious. Goji Berry plants are cold hardy and can be grown in USDA hardiness zones 3-9. They are typically propagated by Lycium chinense seeds, which can be obtained from reputable nurseries or online sources.
