Do you know Ken that pure Goji juice is rare? I am making a study right now on the differents brands available on the market and I have found out that most of the products are mixed with fruit juice. One company in the U.S mix their Wolfberry Juice with 7 differents fruits like: blueberry,cherry,apricot,peach,pear,etc. and they dare call it pure wolfberry juice. So always read the label before you buy. Another common name for this is Himalayan goji berry. Goji berry juice is promoted as a health drink. Further Possibilities: A look at some plants which look exciting but of which we do not yet have experience. I can not attest to the nutritive value of the berries, but they do have a pleasant flavor. If you want a 'superfood', try moringa. Current interest in forest or woodland garden designs reflects an awareness that permanent mixed plantings are inherently more sustainable than annual monocultures. They safeguard and enrich soil ecosystems, enable plants to form cooperative combinations, make use of layers above and below the soil, and they create benign microclimates which soften winds and recycle the rain. The challenge is productivity: how can yields of useful foods and other useful materials be maximised? The latest book from Plants For A Future is a resource for discovering some of the answers.

The leaves are also said to be appetizer, diuretic, haemostatic and stomachic[176, 218, 222]. They can be used internally or externally[218]. An infusion of the leaves and flowering tops is used in the treatment of nervous and spasmodic affections, sterility, functional bleeding of the uterus, dysmenorrhoea, asthma and diseases of the brain[176, 243]. The leaves have an antibacterial action, inhibiting the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus typhi, B. dysenteriae, streptococci, E. coli, B. subtilis, Pseudomonas etc[176]. The leaves are harvested in August and can be dried for later use[4]. The stem is also said to be antirheumatic, antispasmodic, and stomachic[218]. The roots are tonic and antispasmodic[243]. They are said to be one of the best stomachics[4]. They are harvested in the autumn and dried for later use[4]. The leaves, placed inside the shoes, are said to be soothing for sore feet[238]. The compressed dried leaves and stems are used in moxibustion[176, 178, 218, 222, 238]. Another report says that the down from the leaves is used[4].

I understand all fruit production occurs in China. Are these fruit produced commercially using cultivars that are propagated vegetatively (cuttings) or are they all grown from seed? If I want to grow the plant, should I find superior cultivars or simply germinate seeds and grow what results? I intend to create a bushy garden as a labyrinth, made from Lycium, mixed also with Hippophae rhamnoides and Zizyphus Jujube (still looking for). Also I have already Chaenomeles japonica 'Cido'. In my own little garden, I cultivate since some years Rubus phoenicolasius. Crataegus arnoldiana grows up to 20ft tall, though I have yet to see specimens more than 15ft tall. This is one of my favourite fruits, it is almost an inch in diameter and has a sweet flavour with a soft juicy but mealy flesh.
