The first tree of goji berry of Ningqi No.5 was found in production orchard of goji berry of Ningqi No.1, and it was the clone after asexual reproduction.The goji berry of Ningqi No.5 has advantages of high and stable yield, large fruit, good taste, easy pick and high profit.<\/span><\/p>\n 1. Characters of fruits<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The goji berries are orange red with bright surface,\u00a0the average\u00a0weight of each fruit is 1.1 grams, and its weight can be 3.2 grams at max. The index of fresh fruit is 2.2, the waist of fruit is straight without ridges, the vertical section of fruit is a circle, and the tip of the fruit is a blunt, the verticaldiameter\u00a0and\u00a0transverse\u00a0diameter of fruit are about 2.54cm and 1.74cm, the flesh is 0.16cm thick with 15-40 seeds.\u00a0The fruits can be dried in sunny days after 4.5 days with\u00a0dietary alkali\u00a0in Ningxia, the fresh fruit to dried fruit is 4.3 to 1, and the dried are red and glossy with 56% of sugar, 3.49% of goji berry polysaccharide, 1.20 mg \/100 g of carotene and0.98g\/100 g\u00a0of\u00a0betaine.\u00a0The fruits are resistant to squeeze, the comfortable depth of basket for bearing fruit is\u00a030 ~ 35 cm.<\/span><\/p>\n 2. Botanical characteristics<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The tree of goji berry of Ningqi No.5 is strong and big with supple branches, the flowers are 1.8cm long and the diameters of petals are 1.6cm. the styles are longer than\u00a0anther\u00a0of stamen, the fresh anther is white and\u00a0dissilient\u00a0without loose power,\u00a0corolla lobes become purpleafter\u00a0blooming, the yellow corolla tube throat\u00a0is a star ship set by the purple lobes in blossom period, the wall of\u00a0corolla tube\u00a0is pale yellow, and there are some fluffs\u00a0near the base of\u00a0filament, the calyx is broken.\u00a0The leaves are dark green and thick, the old\u00a0leaves\u00a0are blue green flat veins, the leaves of biennial branches are\u00a0lanceolate\u00a0and fascicled, the leaves of annual branches are alternate and\u00a0lanceolate, and the middles are wide while the tips are sharp, the leaves are 3-5cm long, and the length to width is 4.12 to 4.38. The annual branches are yellow white with purple stripes on tips, the tips of annual fruiting branches are slender, the\u00a0internodes of tips are long, the fruiting shoots are slim, soft and long, which will not influence picking.\u00a0The\u00a0internodes are\u00a01.3 ~ 2.5 cm\u00a0long,\u00a070% of fruiting shoots are\u00a040 ~ 70 cm\u00a0long, there are some sharp twigs at the later 1\/3 part of old shoots, fruiting shoots bear fruits at\u00a08 ~ 15 cm, the\u00a0internodes are\u00a01.13 cm.<\/span><\/p>\n 3. Biological characteristics<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Phenological\u00a0period: the plants sprout from 13th<\/sup>\u00a0April, grow year old branches from\u00a0April 23rd<\/sup>, grow annual branches from\u00a0May\u00a011th<\/sup>, ripen fruits from\u00a0May 30th<\/sup>, bear a large number of fruits from June 9th<\/sup>, and grow autumn branches from\u00a0July 16th<\/sup>.<\/span><\/p>\n Habits of growing and bearing: the trees are 1.6m high, 6.38cm wide with 1.7m of\u00a0crown diameter\u00a0after planted for 6 years.\u00a0The branches are opened and the trees are dense, the saplings have\u00a0strong growth potential, and can\u00a0transform to reproductive growth\u00a0after pinched two times, on average, year old branch can bear about 2.1 fruits on each internode, the annual branches with 8.2 internodes can bear 0.8 fruit on each internode, the branching ability of\u00a0secondary branches\u00a0after cut is 4.5, the branching ability of\u00a0secondary branches\u00a0without cut is 10.4. The effective length of 70% of fruiting branches is 40-70cm.<\/span><\/p>\n 4. Stress resistance<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The plants have strong resistances on insects,\u00a0powdery mildew\u00a0and thrips, and weak on resisting\u00a0root rot.\u00a0Fruits\u00a0will be broken after raining.\u00a0Plants are fond of sunshine with tolerance to cold and drought and can not tolerate dank and wet environment.<\/span><\/p>\n
