Growth habits

Wolfberry likes cool climate and has strong cold tolerance. When the temperature stably passes around 7℃, the seeds can germinate, and the seedlings can withstand low temperatures of -3℃. When the spring temperature is above 6°C, spring buds begin to sprout. Wolfberry can survive the winter at -25℃ without freezing damage.

Lycium barbarum has a well-developed root system and strong drought resistance, and can still grow in arid deserts. In order to obtain high yields, water supply still needs to be ensured, especially during the flowering and fruiting period. Sufficient water must be provided. Low-lying areas with long-term water accumulation are detrimental to the growth of wolfberry and may even cause root rot or death.
