Late blight?

I agree with you totally. They could potentially carry a virus or viroid that could make the jump to tomato, or indeed other pathogens. I believe they were brought in in the dormant season, without leaves, so chances of spreading foliage diseases is low.

The sad thing is that the goji plants were not even imported direct to the UK. They were mistakenly approved in the Netherlands, and then made their way to us from there, as there are no restrictions on live plant movement within the EU.
