Lycium barbarum 'Firecracker'
Lycium barbarum 'Firecracker', known as 'Firecracker' goji, is a deciduous fruiting shrub appreciated for its production of nutritious berries and its naturally flexible and slightly arched silhouette. This variety forms a dense bush with sometimes thorny branches bearing narrow, elegant grayish-green foliage. During summer, small purple flowers appear in the leaf axils, attracting pollinators. These are followed by very decorative and edible elongated bright red berries, known for their richness in antioxidants and vitamins. The fruits have a slightly sweet and tart flavor and are often consumed fresh, dried, or incorporated into various culinary preparations. Very hardy and tolerant, this shrub adapts well to poor soils and dry conditions, while preferring full sun locations.
