Lycium sp. info

Given the choice between L. europaeum and L. barbarum, I would venture to bet this plant is L. barbarum, but it's hard to say. L. europaeum thrives in hot and dry environs while L. barbarum is happier in cooler, moister climes. The trouble is, our area is both hot and cold and both dry and wet!
