Grow Goji Berries At Home

Goji berries are quickly becoming a popular superfruit. They provide many vitamins, minerals, unsaturated fatty acids, amino acids, antioxidants and many others. They really are a wonder fruit. However, this wonderfruit grows in far off China, and is therefore generally available only in a processed form.

In health food stores and online you can buy goji berries in the form of dried berries, juices or powders. These are a great way to get some of the berries, if you consider that they are grown too far away to be eaten fresh by those living far west. However, there is another way!

It is possible to grow Goji Berries for yourself! Online you can find information about companies that sell seeds of the goji berry plant to be planted and tended by yourself. They come with complete instructions on how to ensure that your plant produces the maximum amount and quality of berries.

If you want to grow goji berries, there are a few things you should know about them. Those that you can find online are generally grown in the Rocky Mountains, which have a similar climate and atmosphere as the Himalayas, where the berries are natively grown. Here the plants thrive and they can do well in temperatures from -15 degrees all the way up to 100 degrees.

If you are thinking of growing goji berries, you should be aware that they do best in full sunlight, and so are happiest when planted outdoors out of the shade. However, it is possible to grow them even inside your house if you place them near a window the receives direct sunlight at least eight hours every day. This means that virtually anyone can grow goji berries!

Companies that sell the plants and seeds provide information packets or DVDs to give you all the facts you need to know before planting your goji berry plant. You will need to know how tall the plant can grow (eight to ten feet high!) and that it needs to be well pruned in order to produce good quality fruits.

The goji plants first produce shoots and leaves and then small purple flowers. These flowers give way to bulbs that become the berries themselves. As with any fruit producing plant, it needs to be pollinated. This means that if you are growing it in your home you will have to hand pollinate it by rubbing the flowers against each other so that they share their pollens.

Growing goji berries yourself is the best way to ensure that you are getting the most out of these amazing superfruits, as they are completely unprocessed and can be guaranteed to be completely organic! What a great way to give your health a boost. Plus, these berries are juicy, sweet and delicious. What more could you want in a health food?
