The blossom of goji berries
Goji berries are now not only valued as a particularly valuable dietary supplement, but also offer a quite decorative sight, especially during flowering. After all, varieties with high fruit content are occupied between June and August with a large number of purple funnel flowers.
Characteristics of the Goji flower
The flowers of Goji berry, also known as the wolfberry, are funnel-shaped and, with their bright lilac, stand out prominently from the fresh green of the leaves on the branches. The stamens, which are covered with bright yellow pollen, and the green pistil stick out in the middle of the flower funnels. At the green stem of the flowers, the later form of the fruits to be harvested is already anticipated during the flowering period.

The regular pruning usually has a positive effect on the fruit set, as the plants otherwise invest a lot of energy in the formation of long shoots and their rooting on contact with the ground.
Tips
Goji berries are self-fertile, but the planting of several specimens can improve the pollination performance.
