Only suitable plant material reliably bears flowers and fruits
The goji berry is a type of plant that has been selected and bred for yield in various Asian growing areas for centuries. However, in Germany by hobby gardeners sometimes offshoots of wild forms increasedwhich then produce little or no flowers. So you should make sure you have a suitable one Cultivarto plantwhen you harvest your own goji berries and to process want.

The duration of the juvenile phase depends on the type of reproduction
Goji berries, like many other plant species, can also get through, for example sowing propagated by seeds or by cuttings. It should be noted that seedlings usually have a longer juvenile phase than young plants from cuttings. Basically, you have to assume that young Goji berry plants only develop flowers and fruits from about the third year onwards. Copies in pot sometimes bloom as early as the second year, as their growth in size is somewhat limited by the shape of the culture and the plants start fruiting earlier.
Care and location-related reasons for the failure to flower
It can also be due to one or more of the following factors if the so-called wolfberry bush does not want to bloom at all:
- unsuitable location: too little sunny and warm
- Waterlogging in the ground
- incorrectly performed cutting measures
Some wolfberry varieties will stop blooming if they are too strong cut back will. High-yield cultivars should, however, be rather insensitive in this regard and react more positively to an upbringing cut.
Tips
Sometimes an exaggerated or wrong fertilization contributes to the problem of non-flowering berry bushes. As soon as the soil at a location contains a lot of nitrogen through appropriate measures, many shrubs tend to have very strong shoot and leaf growth. However, this happens at the expense of the flower and fruit set.
