   Hi Paul,   
      
   Thank you!   
      
   My Goji are first year fruiters.  (What??? Not a   
   real word??  I can sure tell you don't work for   
   marketing!)   
      
   Oh your two year fruiters, if you cut back a branch   
   and it regrows, does the regrowth wait another two   
   years or does it fruit right away because it was part   
   of a two year branch?
