Neagari style Goji Berry...

[GrimLore]

Its raw stock for sure...

Good raw stock though Do yourself a favor and go with at least a gallon pot and organic substrate. I did not go big enough on my stick this past season and even though it had berries the growth was minimal as far as the trunk goes. One year lost... my bad.

Thanks...I originally thought so. It's not my favorite on the bench though.
I plan on putting it into the training pot my Boston Ivy is in...my biggest fear...that it will not dry out evenly in to large of a pot. (That Is if timing works right depends on if the goji wakes before the other. But I've larger pots...) It's really not very large...which was why it was placed in the mame contest...then pulled with Scott's direction to thicken the trunk.

I'll get these wired and up potted in the spring:

More power to you...unsure I wish to deal with my stragglers.

 

[Cadillactaste]

Well...a few leaves starting to form on this exposed root goji. Will decide tomorrow if I just pot in larger pot to thicken trunk/roots...or...if I wish to cut a a app plastic apple juice bottle down and develop the roots further in what is already hidden. Assuming it all depends what is under the substrate. Will be interesting to see what is there and the direction I end up taking.

 

[Cadillactaste]

With my love of exposed root...I decided to develop more.


Straggler ride along also had some developed roots.

Darlene, you should have used larger soil particles in the elevated part. That creates the separation between the roots.

Too late now though...guess it will be eh...verses wow. That does make sense though.

If you just potted it today it would not be that bad to redo it if you have the substrate. IF you are super gentle taking it apart.

My local Lowe's store just received a bunch of Goji plants. Didn't notice the variety, but they were interestingly craggy-looking and I was surprised that the container said they were hardy to -20.
Probably at other Lowe's as well.

I have the bottle wired into the pot...and I am not so I have anything much larger in size to be honest. I have a new box of substrate that could be sifted. But of not...then no I wouldn't. My fear is damaging the smaller roots tearing it apart.

 

[Cadillactaste]

I need to errands in town...I get back...I will see what I have. If anything noticably larger or not.

 

[Cadillactaste]

Unbound roots...and spread wider...thanks @Adair M and @JudyB. No idea how the roots actually look. But the unopened substrate had larger particles. So now I will head into town and do errands. This is behind me. Both Goji done...

Ok, now chop up some high quality spaghnum moss and cover the top of the soil. Use “orchid moss” if you’re getting it from a nursery. This will help to retain moisture until the roots get re-established.

Since this larger soil is so open, the tree will probably need to be watered more often until the roots grow down into the regular soil. So, water often, but lower the quality of water. Just make sure all roots are wet when you do.

Straggler looks like Wisteria?

Thanks for the guidance and direction...lower the quality of water? Or quantity did you mean?

Seems to me an auto-correct problem... I would water more often but less at a time keeping them damp but not soaking what is in the substrate. Pretty damn certain it is what he was typing and it was auto corrected...

No...it's another goji...trust me. It leafed out last year same as the other one.

Yup! Lower amount at each watering, but water often.

( I tried to pick words that autocorrect would not change!)
