Healthful Eats
Native to the Himalayan Mountains, Goji berries are known world-wide for being one of the most nutritionally dense foods. These red berries are packed with essential vitamins, minerals, 18 amino acids and antioxidants. While easy to grow, the plants do need a high pH soil (6.8-8) and not a lot of nitrogen. Eat fresh or dehydrate them. Fruit ripens in mid summer until frost.

Fruitscaping with Goji Berries
Goji berries can be a supper healthy addition to your garden. They have been eaten in Asia for generations, with the shared belief that they help people living longer. They will work best in full sun, but can handle a bit of shade if your space does not provide the sunlight required.  Place them in a beautiful large container on your deck or in the ground underneath your Apple, Pear, or Peach Trees.
Recommended Fertilizers
- Starter Fertilizer:  Plant with Espoma Organic Bio-tone® Starter Plus. This will increase root mass and help avoid transplant loss in difficult planting conditions.
- Fertilizer to Maintain:Â Â All of our Berry Bushes (Besides Blueberries) work great with Espoma Organic Citrus-tone Fertilizer.
Growing Guide
At this time, we do not have a growing guide dedicated to Goji Berries Bushes, however you may use our Blackberry Bushes guide as the instructions also work for Goji’s.
Shipping Restrictions
We’re so sorry… but due to agricultural restrictions we cannot ship any plants outside of the United States, or to the states of California, Hawaii and Alaska. Also, citrus trees cannot be shipped outside of the state of Florida.
Shipping Information
Unpacking Your Plants Guide:  Prior to receiving our plants, please click this link to read our Unpacking Your Plants Guide to get to know the steps to keeping your plant healthy after receiving it.
We do NOT ship bare root:  Our trees are shipped in the same exact containers they are grown in, for the most healthy transition. The plants are watered well before they are packed and wrapped in a shipping bag to ensure they stay moist during transit. It’s as if you came and picked them up right from our nursery yourself!
Why do we not offer free shipping? At Just Fruits, we price all of our plants online exactly as we do in the nursery. Therefore, the shipping cost is simply what it costs for us to get your order from the nursery to you. Many competitors may increase the plants’ prices in order to hide shipping costs… we do not do that. We want our customers to see exactly what the plant costs are, separate from what the shipping costs are. That way if you decided to come visit the nursery to pick up your plants instead, you would know how much you save in shipping.
Weather Watching:  We now ship all year round! However, we do watch for extreme weather. If there is extremely cold or hot weather expected around your shipment date and on your path of shipment, we will contact you and notify you that we plan to hold the shipment for the next possible shipping date with better conditions. If you ask us to still ship it, through the conditions, we will not be responsible for any damage caused to the plant & UPS will not refund any claims. We love our plants, and do not want to see them die, so we would rather wait until it’s the right time to ship it, than risk losing a plant in transit.
