Bill,

 

Thank you for the info. I will give it another try. Cindy Riviere gave

me the gou qi zi plant which did not fruit. She said at the time that

it was difficult to cultivate for fruit, even on the ridge where her

gardens are. I fell in love with her gardens, this beautiful area, and

then I moved to Athens four years ago. Yes, she is a wealth of

information about growing Chinese herbs and keeps learning from her

associations with Jean Giblette and the other CH growers as well as her

own experience.
