About Big Lifeberry
Big Lifeberry is a cultivated goji selected for comparatively large, red fruit. The berries have the sweet-tart flavor characteristic of goji and are borne on a woody, arching shrub.
Growing Big Lifeberry Goji Berry
Plant in full sun and well-drained soil, typically in Zones 5 to 9, giving young plants regular water until established. It is self-fertile; prune to encourage manageable, productive new shoots and harvest fully red, soft berries rather than partially colored fruit.
