Scientific name: Lycium barbarum
Family: Nightshade
Plant history & use:
Yellow Wolfberry belongs to the same genus as the red and the black wolfberry and, like its relatives, is a nutritious berry, especially rich in vitamins and proteins. Unlike the red wolfberry, yellow wolfberries contain no bitter substances and also have a lower sugar content.
Yellow wolfberries can be eaten raw as they are, used in salads, or dried to be added to muesli or baked goods. You can also simply make a drink from them, like black wolfberries.
Both yellow and black wolfberries are still relatively uncommon in Sweden, so here is a chance to have something unusual and healthy in your cultivation!
Cultivation:
Yellow Goji is a hardy shrub that withstands many degrees below freezing and is therefore suitable for outdoor cultivation in Sweden, either in pots or in open ground. The shrub grows well in sandy, clay soils, and everything in between, as long as the soil is well-drained. It thrives in sunny locations and is relatively tolerant to drought, wind, and salts.
The shrub also has a strong root system that binds the soil well. Its tough qualities make it an effective plant in maritime coastal climates with much wind.
Yellow Goji is a grateful plant that does not require much care.
The shrub grows 1-3 meters tall. Its growth habit makes it suitable to be tied to strings along a wall to grow as a wall cover. Whether it grows against a wall or not, give it something to climb on or grow against so the shrub grows faster.
Sowing:
Sow the seeds in moist seed soil. Cover with a thin layer of soil. Keep the sowing moist.
