A hardy plant, easy to grow and has nice flowers but be aware of thorns. Cutting made from my old plant which expired just after planting this beauty into the ground. Last plant was in a pot under the patio, had the last one since 2005. Great little plant if kept trimmed and controlled. Young leaves good in soups.

Notice leaves are different from the Africian Boxthorn and the popular Lycium Barbarum which can now be found in Geraldton's Bunnings outlet for $27.95, last checked 25/01/12.

I don't remember seeing berries after flowering therefore for a long while didn't know I had a rather precious plant (was special anyway to me). I only harvested the young leaves.

Nice to eat when stir fried with sambal. Suppose to be easy to grow, so far I'm having little success.

Must at least kept moist, best results grown in water.

Have since added more cuttings in pot and some placed some in water on the kitchen bench by the window. Since has seen some nice little roots coming out from some cuttings...must be doing something right :)
