Do they have similar health benefits to goji?
From the little bit I can find on this specific species, Lycium pallidum or Pale Wolfberry, it does seem to have similar uses and nutritional value. The Anasazi people cultivated it and used it as food source and medicinal herb.
How far north do they grow?
Their native range is California, Arizona, Southern Nevada, Southern Utah, New Mexico, Southern Colorado and West Texas. The growing zones are 5 - 9, our area is zone 7a-6a. There is a gaint on by one of my husband's clients but it gets regular water. This is just a plant growing in our fields and its had the open range cattle snack on it, so it's smaller.
