Amazing Cultivar -
No. 1 of Ning-qi is a cultivar newly developed by goji scientists in Ningxia after many years of experiments and selection. It is the gold medal winner of "National Scientific and Technological Achievement Prize". In the summer of 2007, I (Jaspn Qing) went back to Zhongning to visit my relatives and got a chance to visit a goji farm. I was very much impressed by this heavily yielding cultivar. The main features of No. 1 of Ning-qi include:
*
Higher yield -
900 Kg dry fruit/acre for 3-year-old tree;
1620 kg dry fruit/acre for 5-year-old tree.
It is not rare to see 2400 kg/acre (2.4 tons/acre dry weight) if the growing condition is ideal. Average yield is 34% higher than traditional cultivar "Da-ma-ye".
* (The fresh-dried weight ratio for this cultivar is 4.37, so if you pursue fresh fruit, one acre can yield 8000+ kg or 8.4+ tons of fresh berries for a 3-year-old tree)
