I planted 12 seeds just yesterday. I am excited to try growing these potted as indoor plants. I also want to grow them as a hedge between my neighbor and I. Hoping the bushes will grow prolifically as its reputation so I can have a little bit of shade from the morning sun on that side of the yard. The neighbor has bamboo growing on her side. The bamboo is tall but not very densely growing. And it breaks easily in the winds. The goji should get plenty of sun from the west as nothing blocks it and more from the east when it clears a short, 3' wall.

I'll probably trade some seeds once this batch has proven to germinate well. May even trade plants. I think these are a very interesting bush for the garden, especially if you are into edible landscaping. The thorns should keep them useful to deter theft. Although I'd like to get pictures of anyone that scales the wall and lands in this thorny bush. The quick growth should add both privacy and shade, provided the growth is kept in check with pruning and kept from getting messy.

As an indoor plant, it will be interesting. Great if it can produce fruit well when moved outdoors in the spring. Going to at least give one a try as an indoor experiment.
