My Questions about Tibetan Goji BerriesA search for information on Tibetan goji berries reveals the nutritional value of that fruit. It does not, however, disclose many facts about the way in which the Tibetan goji berries form on the bush or vine. In fact, the limited information leaves one wondering whether the berries come from a bush or a vine at all. I am curious to know whether the Tibetan goji berries grow close to the ground or on a climbing type of plant. I seek this information because I have found that the fruits of the region around the Himalayas stay in the mind of the foreigners who have lived in the area. I have not known anyone from Tibet, but I have known several Americans who once lived in Nepal. One of those former Nepal residents had fond memories of the mangoes in Nepal. In fact, it was a comment from that gentleman that motivated me to go on a quest for information about the method of growth for the Tibetan goji berries. That gentleman had once confessed to a desire for one of two forms of isolation either face-down in a strawberry patch or face-up in a mango grove. Having heard that comment, I can not help but wonder if Tibetan goji berries grow in much the same way as strawberries. And if so, then could the Tibetan goji berries be cultivated and developed and could one thus produce larger and juicier Tibetan goji berries?
I have these questions because I used to pick wild strawberries which were much smaller than the strawberries sold in the stores. That fact would suggest that the cultivation of the strawberry encouraged the formation of a larger and juicier berry. This writer has also picked wild blackberries which have a large number of seeds. In every other way, however, they were very similar to black raspberries. Hence, I have begun to wonder whether or not the Tibetan goji berries have a lot of seeds. If so, could cultivation of the berries produce a fruit with fewer seeds? A search for answers on the Internet has so far not provided me with the information that I seek. It has caused me to envy the young people of Tibet, those who might have a chance to pick the goji berries. I remember well the satisfaction that I felt after colleting a bowl of either wild strawberries or wild blackberries. It is something worth cherishing for a lifetime. |
