I'm interested in growing giji in my garden here in NJ, USA. Has anyone used the frash fruit at home?

Nowadays I made a lease contract with the Belgian Railway Company for a nice peace of land of about 500 sq meters, and thats where I intend to make my labyrint. Crataegus illinoensis. The fruit of this species is very similar in taste and size to C. arnoldiana, mentioned earlier. I'm not sure how tall the tree will grow, possibly 20ft.

Edible Shrubs provides detailed information, attractively presented, on over 70 shrub species. They have been selected to provide a mix of different plant sizes and growing conditions. Most provide delicious and nutritious fruit, but many also have edible leaves, seeds, flowers, stems or roots, or they yield edible or useful oil. The information here is based on practical experience and observation, and from a wide range of reputable sources. For each entry the descriptive text is augmented by summary information panels covering various attributes such as natural habitat, preferred soils, nutritional value, and potential uses within woodland garden designs. In a woodland garden, everything grows together in a way that is very similar to a natural woodland but with the trees and shrubs all bearing edible crops, and with many different edible herbs and vegetables growing under them. Instead of battling against nature, this is a garden that works in harmony with it.

Flowering is in the early to late spring, usually just before the leaves open. The plants look particularly beautiful at this time, as they do when laden down with fruit in the autumn.

Edible Perennials Book

Other ways of trying to reduce the germination time include scarifying the seed before sowing it. You do this by filing away some of the outer woody shell of the seed, being very careful not to damage the seed itself. On a small scale this can be done by individually filing away the coat of each seed with something like a nail file. On a commercial scale, sulphuric acid is used to eat the coat away -timing is very critical here and the seed must be thoroughly washed afterwards to remove the acid. Fermenting the seed for a few days in the fruit pulp may also speed up the germination process. I have always found, for instance, that raspberries have gone mushy after freezing them and I feel the same will happen with Lycium. it is a fantastic remedy for infected wounds. My mother would steep leaves in water. and apply the cooled down leaves directly over wound. Put a bandage on top. a few hours later remove bandage and leaves, with it the infected part will come off.
