    Comments about Wolfberry (Goji) Plant:

    [...] It was small, with broken, damaged stem but the root ball was in tact and moist. [...] It is difficult to know now whether the plant will survive and actually grow--and how long it will take to get actual berries on it. [...]

    Comments about Wolfberry (Goji) Plant:

    [...] Unfortunately, ...I gained two pots, some dirt, a tiny bit of packing paper, and nothing living from this order. Thanks for trying, but I guess I should have known better.[...]In the future, I likely will just use a local nursery. [...] My advice? Find someone else to do your packing and shipping for you.

    Comments about Wolfberry (Goji) Plant:

    Was very tiny when it arrived six weeks ago and was very concerned as it arrived during one of our hottest weeks during a drought. It has tripled in size! It is currently still in a pot and is hanging out with my orchids until our heat wave is over. Am looking forward to next year and fruit!

    Comments about Wolfberry (Goji) Plant:

    Although one of the two plants looked dead, we tried to revive the dead one and it seems to have perked up, but it isn't as large, full and nice as the other plant that came with fresh leaves, etc. It was disappointing to have received one plant that was almost dead, especially when it was intended to be a birthday gift for my son who loves to garden.

    Comments about Wolfberry (Goji) Plant:

    the plants are starting to grow a little now - 3 weeks after arrival

    the soil was moist when delivered, but plants were limp - one was broken - all original leaves dropped, now new buds are appearing

    these plants will not produce anything this season - hopefully i can overwinter them for next year

    Comments about Wolfberry (Goji) Plant:

    [...] It's been sitting on my back stoop, facing east for 6 weeks and it is just now starting to show signs of life. By the time this plant reaches 5-6 feet I will no longer be showing signs of life and the wonderful berries won't do me too much good!

    Comments about Wolfberry (Goji) Plant:

    [...] When it arrived, I immediately unpacked the plant. Was surprised to see such a tiny and dead looking twig, especially after paying [$]. [...] told that it was only awaiting birth! So transplanted it into a large vessel following directions. After two weeks, one tiny green sprig emmerged. I was encouraged. However after another week it died and thus the plant is gone to "plant heaven"

    I really love the taste of newly (to me) discovered Goji berries. I'm anxious to taste them from the garden. My plant arrived in dormant stage and in good condition. I can't wait for summer harvest.

    [...]They were very dry & dessicated, the root balls had not been packed in moss, and the plants looked not only dormant but completely dead. I planted them carefully, but we shall see in the spring whether there was any life left in them. I doubt it. [...]

    Comments about Wolfberry (Goji) Plant:

    I ordered in the fall.[...] Plants were very dry and almost all the leaves had fallen off the plants. The accompanying directions said don't let the plants get dry. They are planted. Won't know until next spring if they make it.

    Comments about Wolfberry (Goji) Plant:

    I was so excited to see the wolfberry (goji berry) available and willing to grow in my area. Since Trader Joe's stopped carrying the dried berries I have been in a tizzy. Now the thought that I can grow my own is just amazing. I am looking forward to my plant arriving in the fall for planting. Hopefully in a few years I will have a bumper crop of the little guys.

    Comments about Wolfberry (Goji) Plant:

    I planted the Wolfberry in the same soil mix and put the pot in the same place. It's still plugging along. I think part of my problem is that I am such a bargain hunter that I will buy something to save money past the date for receiving plants in central Arizona. Many of the plants I order don't make it past the first three months. I think my best bet is to ignore the sales and concentrate on buying plants in the late winter for early to mid spring deliveries.
