Lycium barbarum 'Phoenix Tears'

Also known as Wolfberry Vine, these sweet and nutritious berries are eaten fresh, juiced or dried like raisins. The berries are a popular medicinal herb. Among the highest in protein and anti-oxidants, they have more carotene than carrots, and contain all the essential amino acids and many minerals. Even the leaves are edible when cooked!

Grow this attractive Chinese native on a trellis to more than 10' tall or trim it it as a bush and keep at 4-6' tall. Makes a beautiful fountain-shaped bush when trained through a simple tomato cage. Light purple, bell-shaped flowers bloom in May and continue throughout the summer. The third year and thereafter, flowers are followed by orange-red berries. Phoenix Tears is self-fertile, drought resistant, and likes a half to full day of sun and well-drained soil. It prefers warm summer days and cool nights, and neutral or somewhat alkaline soil. Our plants are grown from cuttings. USDA Zones 5-9. 

Size: 4" Pot

I ordered the Goji Berry but received a tettnang hops. I have reached out to the company via phone where automated message said to chat or email for fastest customer service, called three times and left messages twice, chatted online and emailed, to date no response. Sure would like a response, refund or replacement plant.
