Wolfberry (Lycium)

Not only a vitamin-packed, mineral-rich, sweet berry for eating out of hand, but also an immune-system booster and general body elixir much prized in China. The Cantonese add young leaves and shoots to stir-fries and berries to soups and other dishes. Attractive shrub grows to 4ft. Arching branches are loaded with bright red 3/4 in. long, narrow berries. Plants are self-fruitful and do not require cross-pollination.
