How much does a black goji berry sapling cost? Northern planting methods and yield per mu

Black goji berry, also known as black-fruited goji (Lycium ruthenicum), is distributed in Qinghai, Ningxia, **, Gansu and other parts of China as well as Europe and Central Asia. So how much does a black goji berry sapling cost? Can it be planted in the north? How do you plant it? How many jin per mu does it yield? According to a nursery company in Yinchuan, Ningxia, a 1cm black goji berry sapling costs about 2.50 yuan each.

Can black goji berry saplings be planted in the north?

Black goji berry is originally a northern plant and can be grown from seed in spring.

Black-fruited goji (Lycium ruthenicum) is distributed in alpine sandy forests, saline sandy land, along rivers and lakes, dry riverbeds and desert riparian forests, and is a desert medicinal plant species unique to western China. Wild black-fruited goji has strong adaptability, can endure high temperatures of 38.5°C, and is also very cold-hardy, with no frost damage at -25.6°C. It is drought-tolerant and can still grow in desert land. It is a light-loving tree species, growing robustly under full sunlight, while growing thin and weak in shade with very few flowers and fruits. It has no strict requirements for soil and is tolerant of salinity and drought.

How many jin per mu does black goji berry yield?

Because wild black goji berry grows at low density, its yield is also low, with only about 2 jin of dried fruit harvestable per mu. The dried fruit yield of artificially cultivated black goji berry is generally between 20 and 30 jin per mu. Artificially cultivated black goji berry has a lower yield in the first year, generally about 10 jin of dried fruit.

How do you plant black goji berry saplings?

Cuttage propagation:

Cuttage seedlings bear fruit early and can maintain the excellent traits of the mother plant. Generally, after the sap stops flowing and before budding, select 1-year-old water sprouts or thick, plump-budded branches from excellent individual plants, cut them into 18~20cm long cuttings, and at a plant-to-row spacing of 20cm-50cm, insert the cuttings diagonally into the prepared bed to 2/3 depth, then press firm, tread down, and water, keeping the soil moist regularly. The survival rate is 85%~90%.

Cultivation techniques:

The planting density is 1 m * 1.2 m, with a rectangular configuration.

The cultivation method is:

When planting, make sure the seedlings are upright and the roots are spread out. Bury the roots in fine moist soil and cover with soil in layers, planting appropriately deep (covering soil 1-2 cm above the original soil mark), and press firm so that the roots are in close contact with the soil, that is, follow the principle of "three burials, two treads, one lift of the seedling." Planting requirements: the tree group should be arranged neatly and attractively. After planting, immediately water thoroughly with rooting water, and after the water seeps dry, seal the gaps after 6 or 7 days! Before planting, first spray the seedling roots with ABT No. 3 100mg/k solution (each small packet of 1 gram mixed with 10 kg of water), spraying evenly and thoroughly. This can significantly increase the survival rate of black goji berry seedlings. Planting time is from March to the end of April in spring. When planting, it is best to plant on ridges! Mulching with plastic film is even better!
