Goji is a sprawling shrub with long, flexible canes and clusters of small, greyish to green leaves. The flowers are a brilliant royal purple and they appear in late spring to early summer. They give way to juicy, bright red fruits which are sweet, yet slightly resembling the taste of raisins, raspberries and dates. They grow sweeter as they mature on the plant. The plant will produce fruit in its second year and reach maturity in its fifth year.

The elderberry plant is a versatile addition to any garden, serving multiple purposes such as creating a hedge, attracting wildlife, and adding beauty to your landscaping. With its rapid growth reaching up to 9m in just a few years, it's an excellent choice for a natural windbreaker that is both organic and low-maintenance. 🌿 While this plant is self-pollinating, cross-pollination with another elderberry plant can result in even better fruit production. The glossy dark purple to black berries are small, measuring 5-6 mm in diameter, and are typically harvested in late summer in abundant clusters. 💜 For comprehensive guidance on caring for elderberry plants, including irrigation, fertilisation, pruning, harvesting tips, and pest management, visit our website today. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dVB9nMMG #elderberry #berriesforafrica #berrycultivation #sustainability #berryplants #agriculture #berryfarmers #berrysuppliers #berries #growberries #berryproducers
