you can treat gogi berry bushes  [lycium] as a hedge or windbreak apparantly plant 2m apart  ht is 2m [6ft] they give up to 1kg of fruit per bush extremely drought tolerant hardy to -15c tolerate all soils .plants require little pruning but heavy pruning will keep the bush looking nice and boost berry production.cut hedges hard in spring trim in summer
moving them shouldnt be a problem as long as ground isnt frozen,add plenty organic matter.well rotted of course,and keep watered if nessc.do before growth starts if poss,,might set back berries a bit though but should be ok
plants flower from late spring to summer followed by berries continuing till first frost.

Annie, as you've been so successful - how long did you soak the fruit and then dry the seeds? :&>

I'm not sure it was that successful I can't see any signs of life at the moment, but I gave some seeds away - maybe some folk on here got them.  I soaked them overnight, then squished them onto a paper towel, and dried them off for a day or two. Then planted them.  I've got loads of dried berries left so might try it again this year.  I think it was just too wet last eayr.

These seeds are tiny, had trouble seeing them! I've planted 12 out of around 50 so far and have not seeded all the soaked fruit yet! Fingers crossed!  Hard to believe that something matching the description here is coming out of something so small...:&>

They're about the size of poppy seeds and look what some of them grow to................. ::)  I must have another go at it.
