Goji berries (Lycium barbarum) spotted in a coastal garden in Kent 4/1/2019. Never having seen them before, I did a little investigating. They turn out to be hardy, drought resistant, trainable and prolific fruiters (RHS advice).
And since they are easy, nutritious and colourful (bright red when fully ripe), I am now thinking that I must grow some!

Looking around lovely gardens, especially those open for National Garden Scheme with occasional visits elsewhere.
They’re a close relative of our Carolina wolfberry (Lycium carolinianum) which also is known as whooping crane candy.
How interesting. Thanks for the link. You’ve got to love the nightshade family!
I plant three on a dry slope, followed all the instructions about not pruning etc etc and after 5 years they produced onlya thimbleful of fruit each year and an scratchy, ugly shrub that was of zero interest to wildlife. I do not recommend them at all. We eventually dug them up.
Oh dear, how depressing! A pretty damning example then. 😦
The one I saw had quite a lot of fruit on though … although, I suppose, it wasn’t ripe!
