Add beauty, resilience, and a health boost to your garden with the Phoenix Tears Goji Berry Plant. This thornless variety is a dream for home gardeners—no pricks, just plentiful, sweet berries packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Starting in its second or third year, this shrub produces vibrant, orange-red berries from midsummer into fall, making it a delicious and rewarding addition to any edible landscape.

Charming purple, bell-shaped flowers begin blooming in May and continue throughout summer. Whether grown on a trellis to climb sky-high or shaped into a tidy bush with a tomato cage, this adaptable plant fits perfectly in small gardens or larger plots. Loved by pollinators and unbothered by pests or diseases, it's a low-maintenance crop that brings a lot to the table—literally.

Planting Instructions:

• Sunlight: Choose a location that receives at least 6 hours of sun per day—more sun equals more berries.
• Soil: Goji berries prefer well-drained, neutral to slightly alkaline soil (pH 6.5–8.0). If your soil is acidic, consider amending with lime.
• Spacing: Space plants 4–6 feet apart to give them room to spread and grow.
• Watering: Water deeply after planting and maintain regular watering until established. After the first season, they’re drought-tolerant.
• Planting Time: Best planted in spring after the danger of frost has passed.
• Support & Pruning: Use a trellis or tomato cage to support upright growth, or prune into a manageable bush. Prune yearly to shape and encourage fruit production.
• Mulching: Apply mulch to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.

With proper care, you’ll enjoy a generous harvest of these nutrient-rich berries within 1–2 years!
