Thank you so much, Lynnet! I checked out that web site and requested a catalog. I'm going to try growing some
goji berries and will report in on how they do here in Texas--I'm in zone 8. Since they sell all kinds of
plants, fruit trees and nut trees from around the world, I am hopeful that they might carry the kind of apricot
trees that grow in Hunza. The seeds are supposed to taste like almonds without the bitter taste we associate
with apricot seeds.
If anyone wants to try the goji berries and can't get them locally there is a place in Oklahoma that sells them
for $16.00 a pound. http://www.wolfberries.com
