Beste Frank. Dat is simpeler dan ik dacht. Bedankt Ik ben nog een stukje informatie tegen gekomen tijdens mijn zoektocht op het internet. Mijn Engels is niet heel goed maar het vormen als een paraplu snap ik wel maar de zin “the main shoot should be stopped initially once it reaches 60 cm (24in) …” Dan groeit de goji struik toch niet meer hoger dan 60 cm of gaat dit zinnetje over wat anders dan de hoofdtak? Pruning gojiberries Goij Berries will reach 3m (10ft) in height, but will crop reasonably well if left unpruned. However, regular pruning does help to keep them productive, neat and within bounds, so if you are pushed for space follow the advice below. Prune in late winter, preferably early spring. Traditionally plants are grown on a single main stem and the side branches are encouraged to grow out as close to horizontal as possible in an umbrella shape. The main shoot should be stopped initially once it reaches 60cm (24in) and this will encourage sideshoots to form. Very upright sideshoots can be removed if there is plenty of growth or alternatively tied down to encourage horizontal growth. In late winter trim back these branches to 30 cm (12in) to encourage new lateral growths on which the plant will flower and fruit. This produces an attractive, upright bush with lax, weeping shoots. Leave the strongest upright growing shoot of those that should have appeared from the top of the plant and remove the others. The following year trim the laterals to 30 cm (12 in) and cut back the new leader once it reaches 60 cm (2ft). Repeat this in year three; after three years restrict the height of the bush to 1.8m (6ft) for ease of picking. If plants still become too vigorous the can be pruned hard without fear of damage.
