Goumi Seeds - Fruit Plant for Home Gardens

Goumi Seeds produce deciduous fruiting shrubs commonly known as Goumi berry plants. These shrubs are recognized for their silvery green foliage, fragrant spring blooms, and small red berries that develop during the growing season. They are adaptable to different soil types and are commonly planted in edible landscapes, mixed hedgerows, and garden borders. The plants tolerate a range of environmental conditions and can grow in moderately poor soils once established. Goumi shrubs perform best in full sun to partial shade with well drained soil and moderate moisture.
