Thank you - that did help a lot although I just two days ago gave our Li & Lang more compost & some (not a lot) fruit tree fertilizer along with lots of straw mulch (we are in SW Arizona so mulching is necessary. Li always wakens before Lang but Lang is sprouting leaves now. I do need to cut off only one branch on both trees (those branches are growing OUT too far over our garden area so it is difficult to get by without getting attacked by the thorns. Li and Lang are about seven feet tall and doing well. Do you think those branches that I cut can propagate into new trees? Judi

I live in the San Diego area and bought a 6A-866 Jujube plant for $75 five years ago. It is about 15 - 20 feet tall and produces the most wonderful fruit. I only have one tree and get a large amount of fruit. I let them shrivel on the tree, and mostly harvest as they are ready to fall from the tree. I shake the branches and then pick up the fruit. it stores in the refrigerator for several months with no problem. It is a wonderful delicious superfood that aids in sleep and digestion.

Thank you so much for this! I have 2 jujube trees and I got them as newborns lol. Tiny whips, and it took 5 years for 1 of them to fruit. I only got 2 fruits. I havent found much information on how long it takes to set fruit but hoping this year is the golden year; . Im in the south Okanagan bc: ) hot summers and cold winters. Low precipitation all year.

I have GA something something and I totally forget the second variety mine are just leafing out in zone 9a. They lived a year in containers and planted them early spring. One is quite mature probably a 4 year tree this year the other is considerably smaller. My more mature tree did flower a little last year but did not produce.

Chris was mentioning about replanting suckers from the base of the jujube trees, however since most are grafted onto root stock, you would be growing whatever that root stock is, this is fine if you are to then take cuttings from the main tree for grafting on to that root stock. Just thought it was worth mentioning

I'm surprised I don't see more of these. I have one in Virginia that is doing great. It seems invincible to pests and diseases. I've never watered it after it was a month old. It looks great and draws a lot of interest from people walking by. It draws the Four Toothed Mason Wasp in like crazy.

I've been considering growing ''exotic' fruits to sell by the highway. I live right along it, and have a fairly decent sized plot to work with!
Jujubes seem like a great plant to raise! I'm especially curious about how to dry them now, as it's be a great way to enjoy them all year!

New to gardening! We just bought our first farm and we have an orchard and this would be such an awesome addition! We are in zone 5A so sounds like we need to keep it comfortable. question for you. as a new gardener in zone 5A will it survive cold winters or is it a little on the sensitive side?

I love how when Kevin was talking at first I was like, huh, I swear we pronounce them jube-jubes, not joo-joo-bees, then right when it switched the Chris, she said it was the way I was used to lol, kind of like tomato/toMATo, I never knew people said it the way Kevin did

YESSSS! Nice to see those trees survived the pot-up, Kevin! Jujubes (neck and neck with Citrus) are easily the most beginner friendly tree, IMO. So adaptable, so pest resistant, so drought tolerant, and so easy to grow in a bunch of USDA zones.

I learned far less than expected. ex. quite large? I have a Sequoia Sempervirens on my property. THAT is quite large. What are some common cooking uses for each of the cultivars? Why did I just spend 13 irreplaceable minutes on this?

They are available at my local farmers market, but I have learned the hard way I need to stay away from them. Seems like no matter how many I buy, I eat them like a hog until they are gone. Kinda like the Doritos of fruit; -)

My friend gave me a young tree ( bare root, one and half feet long) it beared one fruit the first year, the year after I got three fruit. Now it has been 12 years. Last year I harvested more than 40 pounds. It is just fantastic.

Well Chris, I wasn't considering it because I've never even heard of it! But I am now! All these nursery owners tomorrow scratching their heads saying I don't know why but I've had 10 people today asking if we had Jujube trees

The community orchard I used to volunteer at had several of these trees. They quickly became one of my favorite fruits, partially because of the taste but also because they gave us the least amount of issues at the orchard.
