Question: what conditions are suitble for goji berry growth?

I recently brought a Goji berry plant for £3 from a mail order website however it is very small and weak looking with falling of leaves and i'm not sure if it need to treat it or if the conditions are wrong... Do they need treatment and what condiions are needed?

Answer: These plants originate from the Himalaya's, they are hardy to -15C. they will tolerate drought and over watering and will grow in shade or sun. So as you can see they are pretty easy to grow but you need to get yours started. Plant in 5+1/2" pot of good compost, do not feed at this stage, and water moderately. Keep in a greenhouse or well lit window cill until plant is showing signs of recovery. You can then plant it outdoors giving it a dose of general fertiliser. I prefer the liquid form. Should do fine. The plants grow wild in hedgerows in East Anglia and some southern counties of UK. Sometimes called Wolf Berries.

Question: Antioxidant in Goji Berries - How Can it Help Us?

I read that Goji Berries are full of antioxidants. How is it beneficial for our health?

Answer: The goji berry and products derived from this fruit offer many nutritional benefits. It contains all eight of the essential sugars, called glyconutrients, which our bodies need in order to function. Without these sugars, body processes do not have the energy they need to work their best.

Goji berries have impressive immune boosting powers. In fact, some studies show that consuming goji regularly doubles the production of white blood cells. They also inhibit the growth of free radicals, which can injure our cells.

Goji berries are also known to promote longevity. In fact, adding goji berries to your diet can help you fight common signs of aging. On the outside, they help keep skin youthful, strong, and free of wrinkles. On the inside, it can help regulate your body's functions and equip your immune system to work at its best. Furthermore, goji is great for protecting your vision. It contains the compound zeaxanthin, which is known to keep eyes healthy. The goji berry is also highly prized for its ability to improve memory which normally occurs when a person reaches 50 and above thus it in spite of their age they are still active and wise.

Goji berries are also especially important to your circulatory system. Plus, they contain a high concentration of iron. This makes goji berries a great choice for those on vegetarian diets who may not consume iron, which is most commonly found in red meat, from other dietary sources.

Among its other benefits, the goji berry can also help relieve headaches and promote restful sleep. It also aids in digestion and can boost metabolism. They are even high in protein. In fact, the fruit has a complete amino acid complex and more muscle building proteins than wheat. Additionally, its level of B vitamins makes goji berry great for improving your energy and mood.

It is no wonder that the goji berry has been consumed for thousands of years and consistently touted for its health-promoting properties. However, only recently has the goji berry made its way into Western cultures. Today, new research reveals just how important it can be to our health. Consequently, it is now widely available around the world for anyone who wants to look and feel their best naturally. You can buy goji berries fresh or dried, drink goji juice, or enjoy a number of other goji supplement products.
