Lycium barbarum PRINCESS TAO® 'FPW03'

A real innovation from French genetics : An easy maintenance goji with sugary sweet berries

PRINCESS 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. When ripe, the berries are beautifully bright red and shiny. The picking from July onwards is easy as the berries are bigger than those of the currently available market varieties. 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.
Thanks to the sweet taste of its fresh berries and needing only little water, as well as being mildew resistant, PRINCESS TAO® links delicacy and easy maintenance.
