put a start of a goji berry in a container last spring. grew like a weed and suddenly the lower leaves are turning brown. i fear that will continue to travel up the plant. intend to put in the ground this Fall, have religious about watering it, in full sun, in zone 5. read that fish emulsion would be an effective fertilizer in this case. should i proceed with that and/or what could be wrong with this shrub? thank you bunches, deb h.

October 8, 2019Q.growing goji berries
I planted them in the ground from a start. The 1st year I got about 1/2 cup goji berries (I have 3 plants) the 2nd year I got nothing. They have gotten taller and grew some thorns. What should I expect?

Certified ExpertA.Here is information about their care. See if you are providing all the cultural requirements. One thing you can do is tip prune the canes to encourage lateral branches and more fruit.

October 15, 2019Q.For the past few years the berries on my goji berry plant have been black, and the leaves have blisters. This year the leaves are
still blistered, but the berries are the normal orange color. Are they safe to eat? We live in southern Wisconsin. The plant is about 10 years old, but only started producing black berries for about three years. Before that they were fine, and the leaves were fine, and we were eating the berries.

Certified ExpertA.They should be fine since fruit is normal color. Bruised green fruit can turn black. Odd thing is there is a variety that produces black fruits, though rare in U.S.
The "blisters" could be leaf galls caused by gall mites. Treatment isn't usually warranted once they appear. Prevention is the better option.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/goji-berry/growing-goji-berry-shrubs.htm

75050Q.How And When Do You Prune Goji Berries?
My vines are over 6 feet long "and growing". They are multiplying on their own. I'm building a trellis this spring, but I'm assuming that they need to be pruned.

Certified ExpertA.Yes, they can be pruned often. There isn't really a restriction on when to prune, though. You can do so at any time, unless it is stressed.
Here is an article that will offer you more information on the plant: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/goji-berry/growing-goji-berry-shrubs.htm
