Lycium barbarum, aka goji, is hardy to approximately USDA zone 6 after the plants are one year old, or even to zone 5 in a protected location. However, many of the other closely related Lycium species are NOT this hardy. This could account for some of the confusion on the hardiness of goji plants. Also, different strains or varieties of the same species can vary in their cold hardiness, as can individual plants.
(Not sure the apple variety analogy really works here, as essentially all apples are the same species, and the difference between different kinds of 'wolfberries' is usually due to the plants being of different - but closely related - species.)
Keep up the good work, John. -
Definately, the common names 'wolfberry' and 'goji' are used interchangeably for Lycium barbarum, which originally came from the Eurasian continent.
Wolfberry is also used to refer to Lycium species which were already present when Europeans arrived in North America. According to the website EatTheWeeds (and YouTube channel), there are 5 edible species of Lycium in North America - not counting the L. chinense or L. barbarum reportedly brought to the American west by Chinese imigrants which may have also naturalized in that region. Or, perhaps, even hybridized with the species that were already here.
Apparently the North American species of Lycium have been called many names, including wolfberry, Christmas berry, matrimony vine, and even hollywood berry - but not goji. Supposedly the Lycium species called Hollywood gave its name to the town and hills we all know by that name.
John, the plant family Solanaceae is pronounced more like: 'soul-an-A-she-uh' .

this is one of the only videos i've seen of yours where i actually was like.... John looks soooo stoned. hahahahaha

They grow all the way down here in Alberta, Canada in zone 3. The one in my backyard survived 2 winters so far and looks healthy.

The leaves make good tea also I've got 6 3 year old goji that I have been growing from seed no berries yet and I don't pick many leaves untell they are dropping in the winter anyway. But yeah they're a hardy little plant I live in tucson az and they love this 110 degree weather only other plant I have that does this well In the heat is my swiss chard I can go two or three days without watering these guys and they are perky as ever. Only downside to growing from seed is the 3 or four year wait for fruit but considering how much fruit they bare once they start and the supposed nutritional values of the plant I'd say it's one of the best plants to grow and I'm super excited to see what happens with em.

mmmm john nearly orgasmed when that delicious fruit exploded with erotic flavors. I can't wait to try mine, gave it a 8.99 plant a bigger pot, better soil, and more light and now shes giving me pretty purple flowers as we speak!

I understand the seeds don't always grow true to the parent plant, but even if you don't get fruit, you can eat the leaves in soups.
