  Growing the Shrub Variety

 

Two months old Plant

Shrub Variety

Lycium barbarum

 

This variety grows as a shrub and can get to 2.5m high and across.

It will grow well in any sunny position as long as the soil has some drainage.

It needs to be trimmed back at least every winter.

It must be noted that it is a deciduous shrub and will drop all of it's leaves, indicating that it is time to prune it back quite hard.

Pruning also increases crop yield.

Lycium barbarum flowers during Spring and fruits in  late Spring and Summer. If trimmed back after fruiting it may fruit again in February.

Grow notes and tips are available for download after your purchase.

Two year old Plant

 

While they are perhaps not the most decorative of plants in the garden, their ability to produce at least one and usually two crops of berry a year makes them a worthwhile inclusion in any garden situation.

 

The image to the left is a two year old plant, bound to a stake to enable easy picking. It is trimmed back twice a year to encourage new wood to come from the roots.

 

 

 

Cannot send to WA ,Tas or Outside Australia.

 

During Winter, the seedling are considerably shorter than during Spring and Summer, concentrating on root growth rather than foliage. It is the nature of the plant and cannot be avoided, so all purchases during Winter will look more like the image (left).
This does not apply to the vine variety, which are not as affected by winter.
