I have read that lycium was naturalized in parts of
Virginia, so presumably it has managed to set fruit there. I assume that
would be along the coastal plain, in sandy soil, as I can't get the plants to
grow at all. I could get them up to maybe an inch, and then - this was
back in the days when it still rained here - it would rain and they would all
die. I figured it was something to do with the clay soil, as even in pots
I'd have them in a clayey mix. I did have one plant that I'd bought, it
sat down by the creek for a couple of years, didn't grow but didn't die till I
dug it up and potted it. The soil would have been very acid down there by
the creek. I probably had some lime in the potting soil, so maybe
they DON'T like alkaline soil. Donna
