Goji berries, also known as Lycium barbarum, are hardy deciduous shrubs with an upright to viney form. These shrubs are tough and can handle hot, dry weather--in fact, the fruit is better in these conditions. In spring to early summer, they produce purple blooms that become shiny, bright red berries. The berries, considered a superfood, are full of antioxidants and amino acids, and have anti-inflammatory properties. They have a sour cherry flavor and can be dried, juiced, frozen or eaten fresh. These bushes are self-fertile and do not need a partner to produce fruit.
