Growing goji berries in containers is absolutely possible and quite rewarding! I've grown them on my patio for 5 years:

Choose a large container - at least 15-20 gallons for mature plants. They develop extensive root systems. Use well-draining potting mix with extra compost. Gojies aren't picky about soil pH.

They need full sun (6+ hours daily) for best fruit production. Water when top inch of soil is dry - they're quite drought tolerant but produce better with consistent moisture. Fertilize in spring with balanced organic fertilizer.

Prune annually to maintain size and encourage fruiting. They'll produce fruit on new growth. Harvest berries when fully red and slightly soft. They fruit from summer through fall!

You'll get berries within 1-2 years of planting. Much faster than many fruit bushes!
