The Sweet Lifeberry Goji Berry is a fruit bearing shrub that has small red berries from mid summer to the fall. The botanical name is Lycium barbarum 'SMNDSL'. The Sweet Lifeberry Goji Berry is deciduous, meaning that the leaves fall off each winter, and come back in the spring. There are purple colored flowers that bloom during summer. The flowers bloom on new wood, which mean the flower buds are grown on branches that are part of the new growth of the plant. The Sweet Lifeberry Goji Berry will also attract birds & many other pollinator when in bloom! It also attracts birds which will eat the berries if you do not want to harvest them.
