EntheoAssassin Posted April 5, 2012 I have a large Lycium australis plant with plenty of berries/seeds. I'm pretty sure cuttings are easy to propagate. Berries are the famous Wolfberry/Goji berry and can be tasty or a little bit sour. Berries are a super fruit and also contain atropine....so eating MANY may cause hallucinations. Let me know what you're after, if any. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LokStok Posted April 5, 2012 Thanks for the offer man, got any pics? Goji/Wolfberry is Lycium barbarum, native to Nthn Asia & SE Europe. Lycium Australe is short (<1m), weedy. with very small, rounded, succulent leaves. Lycium ferocissimum is the introduced African boxthorn, grows up to 4m, red berries, declared noxius weed in SA. http://www.bushfood.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=622 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EntheoAssassin Posted April 5, 2012 I'll upload some later but it is definitely not Lycium australe now I have seen those pics. It isn't Lycium ferocissimum has fruit that is very very seedy but my bush has fruit that contains few seeds and nice size berries, but not that of barbarum. They would definitely have a very similar chemical content in the berry though and could definitely be used in the same way that wolfberries are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
