The Goji ‘Dynamite’ (Lycium barbarum ‘Dynamite’) is a hardy and productive fruit shrub, known for its elongated orange-red berries, rich in antioxidants. The fruits have a sweet, slightly tart flavor and can be eaten fresh, dried, or incorporated into smoothies and healthy recipes.
Summer flowering, consisting of small purple flowers, is followed by a progressive fruit production from late summer to autumn.
It develops a vigorous shrub with a flexible and slightly arching habit, which can be trellised or integrated into an edible hedge.
The flowers are visited by pollinators, especially bees.
