Second Year Gogi Berry Lookin’ Good

Last year, this Gogi berry was so small it would have gotten lost in the big out of doors.

These little purple flowers are on the original branches – this is their 2nd year.  Maybe they will mature to berries.  On the left side of the pic are a number of new shoots that popped up from the soil this year.  I potted it up to a bigger pot this spring.  I will be trying to find a special place for it around the garden area and might be ready to put it in the ground next spring.

The plant is less than 3 feet high – with the branches drooping over.  It is a droopy/trailing plant and I have s few bamboo poles to tie some of the droopy branches to.

Some of the leaves got pin holes earlier this year so I sprayed them with Neem oil and the problem disappeared.  What ever was eating holes is gone.  This plant over wintered in the pantry – it was a low light area, but the plant never dropped all of its leaves and went dormant.
