Goji berry
Today I ot a Goji berry plant from the Range. I had one for several
years that I grew from a cutting I got from a back yard in Barry Dock when I worked down there. It was behind a shop and the bush was about 12 ft across , Took me a year to find out what it was. That was before computers and Google. No such things as super fruits in those days. I eventually found it as "Duke of Argyll's tea tree" also known has Common names in English include Chinese wolfberry, Chinese boxthorn, Himalayan goji, Tibetan goji, mede berry, barbary matrimony vine, red medlar[ or matrimony vine. In the United Kingdom it is also known as Duke of Argyll's tea plant, after Archibald Campbell, 3rd Duke of Argyll who introduced it in the country in the 1730s. The plant is called Murali in India, and dretsherma (*དྲི་ཚིར་མ།, "ghost thorn") in Tibetan. I wonder what other uses there are for it other than the berry |

I have seen this mentioned in several other places, too. https://pfaf.org/user/Plant.aspx?Lat...ycium+barbarum Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
