Goji berries have reinforcing actions on the body, help get rid of cellulite and improve vision, each berry contains a rich set of vitamins, minerals and microelements of natural origin. Natural Area habitat of Barbaris Tibetan - Mountain Areas of Tibet, from where the berry in limited volumes enters different countries. In this article you will find information on how to independently grow the berries of Goji, about the selection and processing of seeds for landing in the country.
Useful lubricity ( russian name Goji) promises to get rid of a variety of diseases.
In Tibet, have long learned how to use the fruits of Dereza: local shamans prepared tinctures and medicines, physicians various diseases. For several centuries, the secret of this plant was successfully hidden, but now Goji berries can be bought for the prevention and treatment of diseases in any country.
Dereza belongs to the Polenic family - a high shrub up to 2 meters in height, has confused flexible shoots with spines, blooms in small stereos, funnelid lilac flowers With green streaks. During the flowering of Dereza attracts bees - the plant is perfect honey.
A huge number of species of this shrub are distributed throughout globe (about 80 species): African deres - in Africa; Barbaris Shanghai - in China; Lycium is found in the foothills of the Caucasus. The plant develops perfectly on weakly salt soils, after flowering, which lasts the second half of the summer, the fruits ripen - the berries of red, yellow or orange color. There are varieties with purple berries.
In Russia, the Dereza was known as the names: damages (luggage), damn the screens, Tacken (in the Caucasus).
Therapeutic properties have only Goji berries from Tibet.
Growing Dereza from seeds
This plant has a lot of titles, in Russia the most common - lubricate.
For landing on your site amazing Plants from healing berries It is necessary to grow sufficient number Seedlings to ensure the harvest of the Dereza in an amount sufficient to treat or prevent diseases. Undemanding plant perfectly takes good dumart sites in outskirts of Moscow. Caring for plants does not differ with something special, the deresses put up with low-chicken soils of medium salinity.
In the nature of Dereza (Tibetan Barbaris) breeding self-saming - berries, falling on the ground, germinate, forming new thickets.
At home, if you cannot take cuttings from adult plants, the shrub will have to grow out of seeds, thoroughly observing the agricultural engineering of growing this plant. Seeds of Dereza for landing in the country can be purchased in specialized stores, and you can use Goji berries for breeding.
Seed landing is carried out in winter, in about mid-February. Frees from berries Seeds are soaked in growth stimulants, excellent results Noted when using "epina", "zircon" and "humate". Seeds are kept in a solution of about 2 hours, after which they are immediately sown in the tank filled with a mixture of peat and a loam. For better germination of seeds, the tire is needed to cover with glass or polyethylene filmBy creating greenhouse conditions.
The first shoots begin to appear about 2 weeks after sowing, at this time weak sprouts must be protected from the direct rays of the sun. Peak young seedlings are needed in phase 2-3 sheets, with each plant worth transplanted into a separate pot.
Dereza after the transplant is quickly in growth, so before landing in open sadmay have the need for another transshipment in the capacity of greater volume. The growth point in young plants is useful to pinch - this operation will allow you to receive seedlings with a well-developed crown.
On permanent place The bushes are allowed to plant a warm time when there is no danger of the occurrence of morning frosts.
Dereza from Chenkov
If the Kusta Tibetan bushes are already planted on the site, it is possible to propagate the plant with green cuttings, which are cut from bushes in the second half of summer. Such plants can not be planted in the soil in the fall, so the cultivation of new copies of Dereza from Chenkov will require the presence of a free area in greenhouses, where plants must be until spring.
For the drawing, it is worth choosing a branch with faster bark, from the middle part of which cuttings with a length of 10 -12 cm. Prepared cuttings are soaked in a solution of growth stimulants, after which it is planted into drawers with a nutrient earth mixture based on peat. It is useful to add a drowned soil to a peat basis. Planted cuttings of Dereza are covered with film, creating greenhouse conditions.
The appearance of the roots is observed after 2-3 weeks, when the growth of the leaves will reach the number of 3 pieces, the plants roll into the pots of the larger diameter, where the young bushes of Barbaris Tibetan will be winter. Plant care during wintering includes periodic watering and inspections for the presence of pests that are worth destroying.
Agrotechnology care in open soil
Inspected lilac flower flowers Dereza.
Tibetan barbaris (not to be confused with a real barberry, which belongs to absolutely to another botanical form) - a very undemanding plant, can make a short-term drought, put up with poor and saline soils, but to obtain a rich yield of berries, it is necessary to ensure proper care.
Soils with a weakness reaction are suitable for landing, but the cultivation of shrubs is possible on any soils. Plant develops best on open placesbecause the size of the middle bush is large enough. Should not be chosen to place the shadow places with high levels groundwater - Tibetan barbaris is afraid of podmok, it develops better in sunny places.
Planting bushes in open soil is best in the spring, because with autumn plantings, the plant can easily freeze. Without shelter, the bushes are perfectly winter at temperatures up -15c in the southern regions of our country. With a decrease in the temperature in winter to - 25c, it is required to cover the culture, but even such actions cannot guarantee that the deresses will penetrate without frostbite. Sometimes bushes, covered not enough, get to the level of the root neck, but in the spring they will successfully grow rejected.
Planting place
Saplings of lubricants are planted into separate pits, which are located at a distance of 2 meters from each other. The sizes of the pit - 50x50x40 (for small seedlings), 60x60x40 - for adult bushes. The soil, taken out of the pit, is mixed with peat, humus, wood ash and superphosphate, in the ratio (weight in kg) 5: 5: 0.04: 0.2. The root neck when landing slightly plunges. ROCK It should be thoroughly pouring, to climb the peat crumb to peat or humus.
Care for Derezoy
Little Dereza seedlings, drunk in different pots.
To care for the bushes of Dereza is very easy:
- Watering - it is impossible to fill the plant, so watering is carried out taking into account summer temperatures, taking into account moisturizing due to the fallen atmospheric oyphans. With arid weather, the plants are allowed to water 2 times a week.
- Falker - the soil of the average fertility is ideal for growing plants. Fertilizers contribute in the first half of the summer after disembarking the plant in open ground, in further feeding, Tibetan barberries does not need.
- Wintering - There are two ways to keep plants in winter: the construction of reliable shelter, the second way is to preserve the dug bushes in the greenhouse, with landing in the ground each spring. Both ways have their pros and cons. With winter shelter there is no guarantee that the plant will not freeze into strong frosts, but it will not receive additional stresses during transplantation.
- Trimming - Busta bushes well tolerate forming haircuts and cardinal trimming. Plants quickly increase the green mass, perfectly bloom on new branches and fruit productively.
- Protection against pests - Tibetan barbaris is highly resistant to diseases, pests are also rarely visited by this plant. Sometimes the wave can harm the seedlings of the Dereza, but adult plants do not damage this pest. In rainy weather on young plants may appear puffy dew. The bushes should be treated with phytoncides.
Draws to the winter bushes Dereza, in greenhouse conditions they can get sick, which will not allow them to give good increments when transplanting into open ground. Annual transplants lead to a displacement of crop maturation time closer to autumn, thereby reducing the productivity of the bushes.
The correct care of the bushes of Dereza guarantees a high harvest of berries, which differ in high prophylactic and healing properties.
Many have heard O. useful berries Goji, who are used in Asian countries to treat various diseases and weight loss. Many people like their unusual taste, which is difficult to compare with something. In order to have on its site, Goji, care and cultivation must be carried out in all the rules.
Shrub Goji - Description
The fruit plant belongs to the parlasty family. Call him more "Dereza". In nature, the shrub grows in China, in Tibet and Himalayas. If you know the conditions of cultivation, then Goji can be planted on their own area or house in a pot.
- Through height can reach 3.5 m, but if you carry out a trimming, then it is possible to break it with a stitching. An experienced gardenwoman It is possible to create a strambed look.
- Thin spines are on the surface of the branches, and the leaves have the form of an ellipse. Flowers are like bells and painted in a lilac color.
- Berries have an oval shape and painted in alo-red. In length, they reach about 12 mm. Fruit of Goji, the care and cultivation of which is carried out according to the requirements, or from May to September or from July to October. During this time, you can collect up to 13 yields, but the most valuable are the fruits torn in August.
Landing a year
So that the shrub began and developed well, it is necessary to accommodately approach the selection of space. It is important to consider that Goji is a fast-growing culture that has a powerful root system. You can use it in the form of a living hedge or grow it better on empty areas. To obtain large berries Goji, landing can be carried out on solar or shaded territories. You can even grow by the cultivation of this culture at home, observing the conditions of wintering.
Tree Guests - landing seeds
The harvest can be collected in 4-5 years and in each fruit there are 8-15 seeds. The berology first need to soak 5-10 minutes. In warm water, to make it easier to get small seeds. They are recommended to leave for a couple of hours in or "epine". For successful cultivation Goji from seeds, consider a number of features:
- Temperature should be moderately warm, that is, to be in the range of 20-25 ° C. Wet soil is no less important. To ensure these conditions, the landing is better to produce into a deep container to be covered with film or glass.
- The land must be normally drained and medium loosenness. It is better to give preference to neutral soil. You can mix peat and loam in proportion 1: 2.
- Do not deepen the seeds more than 2-3 mm, otherwise thin sponsings will be difficult to break out. It is important that the soil does not drive even a short period of time.
- To launch an active Goji's growth, care and its cultivation at home imply removal of a film or glass when sprouts appear. Continue to follow the moistening of the soil. It is better to water, using a pulverizer to too much to flood the land.
- A transplant in a separate pot can be carried out when 2-3 pair of leaves appear. The pot should not be deeper 7 cm when the bush will already have good branches And to reach a height of 30-40 cm, you can transplant it to open soil.
Landing goji in spring seedlings
For reproduction of the plant, you can use a semi-respess stalk with old wood. Seedlings are grown in most cases hybrid varieties.
- It is important that the length of the cutter is at least 10 cm. To speed up growth, it is recommended to dip in the "corneser".
- The landing of Goji and the care of it begin in July-August, and it is necessary to do it under the film or to a greenhouse. In order for the rooting process to go fast, it is better to choose a cool place, for example, glazed balcony. This process takes time from autumn to spring.
- Under the seedlock it is necessary to make a hole with a depth of about 40 cm and up to 60 cm wide. If several copies are planted at once, then between them there should be a distance of 1.5-2 m. Please note that one is a cross-peer plant, so you need to grow at least two bushes.
- It will remain only to pour and spend peat or humus.
Wood "Growing
Having worn culture does not require creating special conditions and the use of complex cultivation techniques. The main thing is to choose the right place to land and can already be considered that half of the case is done. Take up how to grow berries of Goji, we note that it will be possible to collect fruits in 3-4 years after landing and do it very easily: you must lay a film or any cloth and just shake a shrub.
Growing goji - soil
Since this culture is hardy, special requirements for soil it does not push. A shrub is well developed on neutral and alkaline soils. It will take root on sour soil, but it will be worse to grow and give a crop. To collect the berries of Goji every year, it is possible to grow a plant on its cottage on a rocky earth, especially since it will prevent stagnation of water.
When the seedhold occurs in open ground, it is recommended to cook soil mixture: In equal proportions, connect the passage of humus, large river sand and garden land. To increase fertility, you need to add a number of fertilizers: 200-300 g of superphosphate and 1 l wood ash. Another option is to pour 300 g of potassium sulfate under each bush.
Goji Shrub Growing Temperature
Since in nature the plant is found in the mountainous area, it is not enough for him low temperatures. It has already been said that a seedling is rooted at a reduced temperature. The cultivation of the GOZHI plant in the open ground is worth starting from spring, as young people may not survive the winter. Adult shrub feels normally at -15 ° C. He is also not afraid of heat, most importantly, with a strong drought, do not forget about watering.
Goji - care
- During the first years, the shoots from the plant are thin, and they may fall for the land. To avoid this, install a challenge or support.
- To obtain a rich harvest of berries, Goji's care and pruning are carried out according to the rules, so if you do not shorten the branches, the shrub can grow above 3 m, and the fruits will be small. It is better to form a low and sprawl plant, which will be large berries. Remove the extra skeletal branches, leaving in different directions only the strongest. Shoulders will be formed on them, and from them to move the fruit branches that need to cut every year, leaving no more than four kidneys.
- If winter is too cold, then you can freeze one, so care and cultivation implies a transplant to a deep container and lowering it into the basement. There are gardeners who claim that the shelter of the huskien and the snow is quite enough.
How to grow a plant year - watering
During the first years after landing young plant is vulnerable, so care includes right watering. It is important to ensure that the soil does not drive, but also excessive moistening should be avoided because it can harm the roots, especially during the cold season. To avoid this, the list of procedures necessary for right cultivation The bush of Godi, should include the shelter of the Earth around the trunk of the film during long rains or frosts. Adult plant Requires irrigation only in dry periods and if it grows in the sunny area.
How to grow old - feeding
In contrast to many berry cultures This shrub is able to grow and bring fruits even on poor soils, but it is better before planting it to enter the body into Earth. Care in the spring for the Goji implies adding compost and balanced mineral fertilizerwhich includes potassium, nitrogen and phosphorus. Other feeding for a year no longer need.
Growing Goji at home - diseases and pests
Shrub is not only unpretentious in care, but also resistant to the effects of different diseases and pests. Young shoots rarely may be damaged to the tool, and on flowers and young wounds can be noticeable colorado beetle. During the cultivation of berries, Goji in rainy periods may appear. You can cope with pests using the spraying of the insistency of the wormwood. Diseases, for example, are manifested with poor care or choice of inappropriate soil.

A little about the culture of the year
The scientific name of Godji is the Tereza ordinary (family of the Parenic), and in a simple - wolf berry, or Tibetan barbaris. Just do not confuse with a real barberry, because it is completely different plants! And do not be afraid of the names of the wolf berry, and they are called many shrubs in the people. The fruits of some of them are poisonous, but the berries of Goji are quite edible. Tereza is growing Central Asia, Southern Europe, Ukraine and in Russia (mainly in the Caucasus, Primorye and Kuban). But for some reason, the berries are mostly the Chinese who call them goji. Under this name we advertise them.
Features of Growing Godji
Culture breeds seeds. They are sowing in autumn or spring in open ground under the film shelter. Breakdown Derezu and cuttings. To do this, in July or August, cut the glued twigs for 10 cm, plot into the nutrient solution, and then stick the cuttings into the moistened soil. Between the bushes, leave up to 2 m. In the size of 50x60x40 cm with a size of 50x60x40 cm. Push the compost mixed with 30 g of potassium sulfate and 150 g of superphosphate. After landing, inspire the land under the seedlings by humus. By fall, the twigs should be rooted. The easiest to grown goji from the root row, which adult bushes are always in excess.
Fruit young plants start in 2-3 years. Seedlings for a year later. So that young plants do not froze, fall out of them in the fall and the storage tank in the cool room. In the spring again fall out in the ground. Culture is capable of carrying frost to -25 °, but requires a good winter shelter with a snack or nonwoven material. Easy friction for bushes is not dangerous, they are rapidly restored due to young growths.
What are they, berries goji?
Dereza is a long-term leafy shrub. Grows up to 3 m in height, and in the width, it is distributed to 6 m. Breaks of spiny, hound, with small leaves. Flowers culture from June and until October. The aroma of the plant is messenger, but pleasant. During the entire season, the oblong berries of an orange-red color of up to 2 cm ripen. The taste is sweet with small acids, inside a lot of small seeds. When collecting the crop, they are knocked down with a stick on a blossom under the bush, and then dried. Hands to collect fruits of Dereza is not recommended due to a caustic juice, which can cause skin irritation.
Goji: Care
Watering goji moderately. Finger only during the growing season. When the fruits begin to ripen, stop feeding, the young seedlings pinch the tops so that the plant is better to close. Subsequently, regularly conduct forming and sanitary trimming. The bushes are desirable to leave low to be easier to stream them for the winter. Wintering Dereza is perhaps the only difficulty in its cultivation in medium and northern latitudes: Russia. But the care of the thermal-loving Kul-Tour requires a small one.
Goji: Useful properties
In folk Chinese medicine, decoction of shrub cortex is used as a laxative and diuretic, to remove heat, with bronchitis, to eliminate cholesterol. The leaves are brewing and drowning as a toning. However, in domestic medicine, the benefits of Dereza still evokes disputes. So before applying Goji for treatment, be sure to consult a specialist.
About Growing Goji - Personal Experience
Let's start by S. external view. Goji is evergreen shrub up to 3 m height, which, under the weight of the fruit of the branches hang. Therefore, in the "youthful" age, they need to be taught to the pegs so that they do not harm on the ground. Spikes from Godzhi have, but they are small and not terrible. I think many confuse this plant with Barbaris, that someone has spikes so spikes. Over time, Godji also grow as raspberries as raspberries. Well, we will not give up the raspberry because of this?
Now about the most important thing nay. It is a myth. For example, the Chinese use not only Goji berries, but also its leaves, bark and roots (they are dried and added to herbal fees and tea). There this plant is considered, so to speak, wasteless. Yes, the green berries are impossible. And what other unblend fruits can be? With the same immature black currant, too, you can also choose a cute soul. Then what's the goji?
And collect the harvest with bushes is quite simple - to undress for the plant by some material so that the berries do not fall on the ground and do not get dirty, and you will be happy. Many daches even under the gooseberry spread the film for this purpose. And the fact that the hands during the collection of Goji become black, so Eca Nevidal: From all the same black currant or mushrooms, the skin on the palms also darkens. And what, from poison it? No, from organic acids
And what is sophisticated in the drying of the fruits of the goji? Lifted home, decomposed on the litter, and let them lie, you can die, of course accelerated method The same thing is in the electric grid or oven, but this is already an amateur. By the way, a bit of the greeted berries of Goji can already eat, and they are even much more tastier in this form. And dry berries have its advantages: long shelf life, their volume and weight is reduced, which is convenient during transportation. From them, if you wish, cook jam or jam, but doctors are not recommended to do this, because useful substances are destroyed during thermal processing.
In one of the rooms, I remember, read how one daccier complained that with one bush, it took just three kilos of fruits. But is it really not enough? So I want to ask: how much do you collect currant with a bush? It's just that San-Jy is planted for several bushes, so it seems that her yield is huge.
And I also want about one thing an important moment Remind, Goji is medicinal plant. And where can be seen that the medicines use without the slightest idea of \u200b\u200bthe dosage? After all, even Nainty medicinal herbal You can not drink as it wants. Yes, and no one does it, they are afraid to poison. And why is it, why then another attitude? Where is the logic? Therefore, I want to write about how to use these berries properly. Well, first of all, you need to know that children under three years old can not be given (if a child and silent one or two ripe berries, then nothing terrible will be).
But for children from three to seven years, the norm is 1 tsp. A day in the morning.
Adults can be consumed and 1 tbsp. l. in a day. But to someone who is definitely impossible in any way there are one, so it is hypotonized (berries reduce pressure) and those who suffer from food allergies.
Recently, unusual Goji berries entered the fashion. Someone says that this is a 100% means for weight loss. Others believe that these miraculous berries are a storehouse of useful and vital trace elements. In this article we will learn not only about what is so useful and valuable this plant, but also how to grow goji berries at your dacha.
Mysterious berries goji in Russian and scientifically called "Dereza". Actually, only fruit can be considered berries dereza Chinese(Lycium chinense), or ordinary or barbaric (L. Barbarum). The people of Derezu also call the wolf of the berry (but this name is wearing whole line different plants, including non-poisonous, like a deres), luncture. Often you can hear the name "Tibetan Barbaris", but Dereza and Barberis (Berberis) are completely different plants from different families - do not confuse! You can slip the saplings of Barbaris under the guise of Goji. The name "Goji" (goji) came to english language From Chinese dialects - this is called in China of Dereza.
Dereza Chinese origin from Ningxia-Huieu Autonomous Area on the eastern outskirts of Tibetan Highlands, in North-West China. It was she who spawned so much legends and rumors about long-livers monks.
The Tereza ordinary is practically not inferior to the commodity according to the properties, but the area of \u200b\u200bits distribution is more wide - you can find this berroda in the east and in the center of China, throughout South-East AsiaYes, and we, too, too: in Central Asia, in Kuban, in Primorye, in the Caucasus, in Ukraine, in the middle lane of Russia.
Dereza refers to the parlor family, this is a leafy shrub that achieves three-meter heights, with hijacked barbed branches and small leaves. Crown can reach up to 6 m in diameter. Root system Powerful with deep strong roots forming many root offspring.
Plant, if it is cultivated, decorative enough: the branches of a pleasant light yellow color, the color of the leaf is light green from above, from below - a peppy.
Blizzard will begin from June and will delight the eye until October. Pink, purple, sometimes even brown-violet flowers have a soft pleasant smell.
The berries of the oblong shape, orange, bugland-red color up to 2 cm length, as the stove crossed the escape. Fruit will begin from 3 years after landing, sometimes before.
Genzhi reproduction
- Seeds- Well multiplied by seeds. In the greenhouse without stratification sow spring and leave for wintering. When seedlings begin to grow the top of the escape pinch for the bush thickness.
- Vegetativeno - You can breed with semi-resistive cuttings long about 10 cm, but you should follow the shoot of old wood. To do this, turn part of the cut in Kornvin and in july, August Square to the greenhouse or under the film. In reproduction with weedly cuttings, it is rooted faster. It is possible to root in a cool place or a cool, but insulated balcony from autumn until the end of winter.
In the Caucasus, the draze often multiplies with self-sowing.
Landing a year
For the Dereza ordinary soil reaction may be a weak-eyed-strong-alkaline, but in principle it can grow on any composition of the soil. For landing should be given preference to sunny places. Dereza does not like water stagnation. The best time For landing - Spring. In the fall, the year is rarely planted, it is akin to extreme gardening, because it most often can freeze in the winter. But there are favorable outcomes when autumn landing In warmer regions. Tests were performed on breeding polygons of St. Petersburg. With shelter B. cold Winter I walked to the root neck or to the end of the snow cover. To transfer can cold to -15 ° C. Many sources (German nurseries) say that even up to -25 ° C, but in the middle lane it is extremely risky. In the south of Russia can winter without shelter.Under the seedlock, we prepare a hole with a width of 50-60 cm and a depth of about 40 cm. Pits for several plants located at a distance of 1.5-2 meters from each other. In the ground for frustration, add 150-200 g of superphosphate, 8-10 kg of compost (humid, peat), 30-40 g of sulfur or wood ash potassium or thoroughly mixed. Saplings need to burst a little. After the landing is a good pour and climb peat or humus.
Care for Godzhi
Watering: You can water Derezu only after landing and even more often 2 times a week, looking at the aridness of the summer.Subordinate: Dereza is growing even on poor soils, but best quality The fruit is observed on soils with medium fertility.
