In traditional herbal medicine, goumi berries were believed to improve circulation, support kidney function, and boost energy levels. The plant’s ability to thrive in less-than-ideal conditions, including poor soils and drought-prone areas, made it a valuable addition to gardens and orchards.
Today, Goumi is re-gaining popularity as a low-maintenance fruit shrub. It provides year-round interest with its fragrant spring flowers, silver foliage, and vibrant red berries in summer.
