Characteristics of ‘Dynamite’

  • Botanical name    
    • Lycium barbarum ‘Dynamite’ (goji berry ‘Dynamite’)
  • Hardiness/zone    
    • Zones 3-5 according to sources, with fairly good cold tolerance (≈ -28 to -30°C for some sources)
  • Size at maturity    
    • Spans approximately 1.5 to 1.8 m high and ~1.8 to 2.5 m wide depending on the site, sometimes more in good conditions
  • Exposure    
    • Full sun or partial shade. Full sun gives better results for fruit production.
  • Soil    
    • Well-drained, prefers soils rich in organic matter. Tolerates average, sometimes drier soils, but no waterlogging.
  • Flowering    
    • Small, mauve/purple/lavender flowers, often in early to mid-summer (June-August)
  • Harvest    
    • Late summer to fall (≈ August to October depending on region); fruit ripens a little later than some other varieties.
  • Fertility/pollination    
    • Self-fertile (self-pollinating)—no need for another plant to produce fruit.

Advantages and uses

  • Highly ornamental: visible flowers and fruit, attractive contrast, interesting appearance in a garden.
  • Tasty fruit: sweet and tart berries, good fresh or dried, rich in vitamins (C, B, E) and antioxidants according to descriptions.
  • Good productivity: even on young plants, fruit can be obtained relatively early; but maximum production after several years.
  • Tolerance: to cold, moderate drought, adaptability to different soils (as long as they are well-drained).

Limitations or points to consider

  • Later fruiting: in some colder regions, full maturity may be delayed, which can be problematic if autumn is short.
  • Does not tolerate standing water; roots may suffer in prolonged wet soil.
  • The plant can grow to a significant size, so allow for space or prune it according to the space available.

Hardiness Zones

  • 3b, 4a, 4b, 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b, 7a, 7b, 8a, 8b, 9a

Light

  • Full-sun
