Goji berries have seeds inside, and the inside is made up of pulp and juice.

The berries are red, ovate, and can be oblong or oblong in cultivators, pointed or obtuse at the apex, 7-15 mm long, and can be up to cm long and 5-8 mm in diameter. The seeds are flattened kidney-shaped, millimeters long, yellow. The flowering and fruiting period is from June to November.

Ningxia wolfberry berries are red or orange in the cultivation type, the peel is fleshy, juicy, the shape and size are variable due to long-term artificial cultivation or the different age and habitat of the plant, broadly elliptical, rectangular, ovate or nearly spherical, with a short pointed tip or truncated at the top, sometimes slightly concave, 8-20 mm long, 5-10 mm in diameter. The seeds are often more than 20 seeds, slightly kidney-shaped, flattened, brownish-yellow, and about 2 mm long. The flowering and fruiting period is long, generally from May to October while flowering and fruiting, and the fruits are ripe and picked in batches.

Identification: The leaves of Ningxia wolfberry are usually lanceolate or oblong-elliptic-lanceolate. Calyx usually 2-lobed, often with small callosumous tips at the apex of lobes or 2-3 small teeth at the apex of each lobe; The corolla tube is obviously longer than the eaves lobes, and the margins of the lobes are hairless; The fruit is sweet and has no bitter taste; The seeds are small, about 2 mm long.

The leaves of wolfberry are usually ovate, ovate, rhomboid, oblong, or ovate-lanceolate; Calyx usually 3-lobed or sometimes irregularly 4-5 lobed; Corolla tube shorter than or nearly equal to eaves lobes, marginal hairs at the margins; The fruit is sweet and slightly bitter in taste; The seeds are large, about 3 mm long.

The quality of wolfberry from different origins is different, the origin of wolfberry in our country is very much, but many of us don't know where the quality of wolfberry will be better, in fact, the wolfberry produced in each place has its own point, so how should we distinguish wolfberry from different origins? What are the different characteristics of wolfberries from different origins, let's take a look at them below.

1. If you are buying Ningxia wolfberry, then you must figure out the characteristics of Ningxia wolfberry, that is, it is large and full of particles, the color is oval, the meat is thick and sweet, and the color is bright red.

2. As we all know, Inner Mongolia is also the origin of wolfberry, the particles of wolfberry in Inner Mongolia are very large, and the shape is oblong, and the core of wolfberry is relatively large, showing a dark red, the wolfberry produced in Inner Mongolia will sink when soaking in water, and the color of the water will also turn red, of course, the nutritional value of wolfberry produced in Inner Mongolia is still very high.

3. Xinjiang wolfberry is very sweet, which should be related to the climate. The color is very red when it is fresh, and then slowly turns dark red. The pit is medium, and the flesh is relatively soft. This kind of wolfberry is red in color after soaking in water, and it is easy to sink.

4. If the wolfberry is smoked with sulfur, the color is bright red, which is very beautiful. After eating, the taste is sour and astringent, and there is no sweetness at all, which not only does not improve the health of the body, but also endangers the health of the body.

Goji berries are very common in our lives, we often eat some wolfberries in our lives, of course, the taste of wolfberries is also very good, many people also like to eat wolfberries very much, in fact, the health care and health effects of wolfberry are also very good, for our human health is also very helpful, above we also have a detailed understanding of the different characteristics of wolfberries from different origins, we can choose when purchasing.

The appearance of wild goji berries is that the berries can grow into rectangular circles.

The branches of the wild wolfberry tree are weak, pale gray in color, with longitudinal stripes on them, the leaves are single-leafed, papery, and oblong in shape, and when flowering, the flowers are solitary on long branches, or they are twin in the leaf axils, the corolla is funnel-shaped, and the berries can grow into rectangular and red.

Growth habits

Goji berries prefer cold climates and are very cold-resistant. When the temperature is stable through 7 or so, the seeds can germinate, and the seedlings can resist 3 low temperatures. In spring, when the temperature is above 6, the spring buds begin to sprout. Goji berries overwinter at 25 years without frost damage.

The root system of wolfberry is well developed, the drought resistance is strong, and it can still grow in arid desert land. In order to obtain high yields, it is still necessary to ensure the supply of water, especially in the flowering and fruiting period. Long-term waterlogged low-lying land is not conducive to the growth of wolfberry, and even causes root rot or death.

With sufficient sunlight, the wolfberry branches grow strongly, with many flowers and fruits, large fruits, high yield and good quality. Goji berries mostly grow in alkaline soils and sandy loam soils, and are most suitable for cultivation on deep, fertile loam soils.

Ecological distribution

Chinese wolfberry: distributed in Ningxia, Xinjiang, Qinghai, Gansu, Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi, southern Gansu and southwest, central, southern and eastern China.

Korea, Japan, Europe have cultivated or wild food. It is often found on hillsides, wasteland, hilly land, saline-alkali land, roadside and village side houses. In addition to the widespread wild in China, it is also used for medicinal purposes, vegetables or green cultivation in various places.

Ningxia wolfberry: evolved from wild wolfberry in northwest China, existing cultivars can still be wild under suitable conditions. The early medicinal wolfberry in China is the product of wild wolfberry collected in Northwest China, and there have been records of medicinal wolfberry in the medical books of the Qin and Han dynasties.

Sun Simiao, a famous medical scientist in the early Tang Dynasty, said in "Qianjin Yifang": wolfberry is true to "Ganzhou (now Zhangye, Gansu Province), and the thick leaves are." Shen Kuo, a scientist in the Northern Song Dynasty, recorded in "Mengxi Writings":

Goji berries, Shaanxi extreme side of the birth, tall Zhangyu, luscious and different from other places. ”

Growth habit of wolfberry: wolfberry is a deciduous shrub of the Solanaceae family. The plant has a well-developed root system, penetrates the soil to a depth of up to 5 6m, and the leaves are equifaced, so it is drought tolerant.

However, there is an agricultural proverb in production: "wolfberry is inseparable from water, and afraid of water", which shows that wolfberry has higher requirements for water conditions, especially in the flowering and fruiting stage, it is necessary to ensure suitable water, and the soil water content should be 15% to 18% at this time. Goji berries prefer cool climates and strong sunlight, and are strong positive plants.

It likes fertilizer, under sufficient fertilizer and water conditions, it can flower and bear fruit in the next year after planting, and enter the full fruiting period after 5 years, and the yield will decrease year by year after 30 years, and the fruiting period can reach 40 years. If the fertilizer and water management is not good, the plant will start to senesce after 20 years.

Although wolfberry has strong adaptability, it is better to use the sandy loam soil (neutral-slightly alkaline) with deep soil layer, fertile and well-drained. It is reported that the physical and chemical properties of the soil layer 10 40cm deep are determined, and its pH is 8, the salt content is below, the organic matter, the nitrogen content, the phosphorus content, and the potassium content.

Growing wolfberries on this soil can lead to high yields if managed properly.
