Guest guest Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 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.
