Heads up…Goji Berry is a Local!

Posted by Jake

Tis the season…to be hunting GOJI BERRY!

Been on the lookout on my hikes around these parts, hoping this is the year…to find that elusive, yet ever present GOJI BERRY.  In the video, you can hear David mention 15 varieties found in the southwestern deserts.  I’m seeing them listed in local herb/plant books too!  This video will show you what you’re looking for….

For the Utah wildcrafters, some of the varieties mentioned a lot, are LYCIUM cooperi, LYCIUM andersonii, and LYCIUM pallidum, keep an eye out, and if you spot one, shoot me an email…!!!  Would LOVE to grow the local strains a long with their Asian brothers.

Happy hunting….they’re out there!

    Hi guys…would you believe…that on a hike yesterday…I stumbled across what I believe are a couple different strains of Lycium!!! Talk about manifesting the little guys!! Found them within the first few mins of the hike!! Editing a video right now of the adventure….

    Hope all is well back there at Immortal Mountain…give your little gojis a hi five for me…no doubt…they're going to adapt to your love infused garden!!!

    I live in Western Colorado, the lot next to me has what is called Matrimony vine which is really a shrub, and it is a Lycium what one I do not know. They also grow along the Colorado River in back of the Botanical Gardens in Grand Junction. The berries from this plant are really good.
