A real innovation from French genetics : An easy maintenance goji with sugary sweet berriesPRINCESS TAO® is an exclusively French genetic goji variety, the outcome of the breeding work by FPW DEVELOPPEMENT.The discrete light violet flowering starts at the end of May. It continues in successive waves right through into September, finally reaching the tips of its branches. The fruits form rapidly and simultaneously.

The fruits are sweet, not astringent and can be eaten fresh or dried. Under good conditions the fruit production continues right into November.From the first year of planting, a small quantity of fruit can already be picked.The naturally layered growth makes staking necessary.
