4. Protecting from Cold
If there’s one thing that goji berries don’t like, it’s colder temperatures and frost – and this isn’t unique only to goji berries, but applies to a lot of other plants that are also part of the nightshade family as well as a variety of other different types of berries out there.
This is why a lot of people who find themselves in colder climates will prefer to plant their goji berries in pots instead. This gives you the ability to move your plants around the winter-time and gives them more of a guarantee of surviving the winter cold.
Once the winter has passed, you can move the goji berry plant back outside when planted in pots.
If you live in a colder area and you planted your berry plants in the ground instead, netting can also help to protect your plants against the cold – and some barrier plants can help to shield plants against exposure to the wind.
