How to plant goji berries Goji berry seedling planting techniques

The suitable period for sowing goji berries is from late April to early May. Before sowing you can soak the dry seeds inside warm water at twenty degrees Celsius for eight hours and then fish the seeds out of the water.

Start to prepare for sowing, the bed should be opened four centimeters wide furrow, the depth of the furrow should be in one centimeter, the seed and fine sand mixed together evenly into the furrow centimeters, covered with a layer of a centimeter thick layer of fine wet soil, can be slightly compacted, and then covered with a layer of wet soil, waterproof and moisture retention. The distance between the plants should be maintained at ten centimeters than forty centimeters.

Seed storage time is generally not more than four years is the most appropriate.

Light enough, wolfberry branches grow strong, flowers and fruits, large fruit, high yield, good quality. Lycium barbarum grows mostly in alkaline soil and sandy loam, and is best suited for cultivation in deep, fertile loamy soil.

Lycium barbarum root system is developed, strong drought resistance, in the arid desert land can still grow. Production for high yield, still need to ensure water supply, especially the flowering and fruiting period must have sufficient water. Long-term waterlogged low-lying areas of wolfberry growth is unfavorable, and even cause root rot or death.

Lycium prefer cool climate, cold tolerance is very strong. When the temperature stabilizes through about 7 ℃, seeds can sprout, seedlings can resist -3 ℃ low temperature. Spring temperature above 6 ℃, spring buds begin to sprout. Wolfberry overwintering at -25 ℃ without frost damage.

3, yunnanese goji berry (Lycium yunnanenseKuang) or column cylinder goji berry (Lycium cylindricumKuang) and other local species of goji berry, due to the distribution range of these species is narrow, not easy to see, so more or Chinese goji berry or ningxia goji berry.
