Goji 'Dynamite'

Goji 'Dynamite' (Lycium barbarum 'Dynamite'). Lycium barbarum 'Dynamite' is a highly productive goji cultivated for its bright red, elongated berries, rich in antioxidants and with a slightly sweet taste. It forms a fast-growing, flexible shrub with silvery-grey-green foliage that adds beautiful texture to the garden. 'Dynamite' is ideal for fruit hedges, edible gardens, or natural orchards, where it combines a nutritious harvest with hardiness. The indicated adult size is 2.5 to 3 m (8 to 10 feet) in height and 2 m (6.5 feet) in width.

To plant goji 'Dynamite', choose a suitable exposure: full sun. The recommended soil is: slightly acidic to neutral, well-drained. Water the root ball before planting and ensure that water can drain away after planting. During establishment, check the moisture by hand before watering again. Spread mulch around the base, leaving the collar clear. Avoid systematic fertilization without considering the richness of the soil. In Quebec, choose a period when the soil is thawed and easy to work with. In hot weather, monitor newly planted plants more frequently.

Allow a width of 2 m (6.5 feet) to organize the space for this plant in the garden. The indicated height of 2.5 to 3 m (8 to 10 feet) helps to choose its position relative to neighboring plants. Maintain access to the base for weeding, checking moisture, and removing damaged parts. Associate this variety with plants whose light and water needs are compatible. If you are considering a container, first check that its volume and drainage are suitable for root development. Roots in pots are more exposed to cold than those planted directly in the ground.
