One of my plot holders got some and says they're hyped and actually not worth the bother.
Do not put off thanking people when they have helped you, as they may not be there to thank later.

Never tasted, never grown! Thought about them but learnt my lesson to not be taken in by the hype - cucumelons - useless! Although my mate did enjoy them in her drinkies at her do's- thankfully! Would hate to waste anything grown!

I had one for years without knowing it. I took a cutting off an interesting looking plant in a hedge when out walking. I identified it as a Duke of Argyle's Tea Tree. Much later after seeing it flower and occasionally produce little orange fruits I found out that it was also called Goji berry. I did try eating one but was rather cautious as they looked as though they could be poisonous. It wasn't a very nice taste. I'm not keen on the dried ones in the health food shop either. Aren't we lucky that there are so many healthy fruits that actually taste nice.
They have pretty little purple flowers and a rather wispy growing habit. They are frost hardy and very easy to grow.
