Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The extra-large fruit on this wonderful goji berry is chock full of healthy antioxidants! Very easy to grow as long as you give it full sun; may require some staking to keep this 10? shrub in line. S/M
It's the super fruit everyone is talking about and now you can grow it at your home. Big Lifeberry is a hardy selection with large berries and will produce until the first heavy frost. Would work in a container as well.
