Goji Berry
A sprawling shrub with bright red-orange berries that taste mildly sweet, a little nutty and a little spicy. It shrugs off alkaline soil, drought and hard winters, so it fits every Arizona region. In the low desert flowers stop setting fruit in peak summer heat, so expect a spring crop and a fall crop, with afternoon shade helping.
