Goji Berry Bush FAQs

How do I fertilize Goji Berry plants?

Goji berries do not require heavy fertilization. Apply a balanced fertilizer or compost in early spring to support healthy growth and fruit production, following package directions for the appropriate amount. Avoid excessive nitrogen, which can encourage leafy growth at the expense of flowers and fruit.

How do I ensure my Goji Berry plants pollinate and bear fruit?

Goji berries are self-pollinating, so a single plant can produce fruit without a pollinating partner. Growing more than one plant may improve pollination and increase yields. Encourage bees and other beneficial pollinators by growing flowering plants nearby and avoiding pesticides that may harm them during bloom.

How do I harvest Goji Berries?

Goji berries generally ripen from midsummer through fall, with fruit developing gradually throughout the season. Harvest when the berries have developed their full orange-red to red color and feel tender rather than firm. Pick gently to avoid bruising the delicate fruit, and refrigerate, freeze, or dry the berries after harvest.

How do I prune Goji Berry plants?

Prune goji plants in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove dead, damaged, diseased, or crowded branches and shorten overly long growth as needed to maintain an open, manageable shrub. Because goji produces fruit on current-season growth, pruning also encourages fresh, productive branches.
