I've considered getting a couple of Jujube trees from my favorite mail-order nursery, but would like to try eating a jujube fruit first. This is the description on their website (raintreenursery.com): "(Zizyphus jujuba) Jujubes are pretty trees with glossy green leaves that turn yellow in the autumn. Called the "Chinese Date", the fruit is very sweet, reddish brown when ripe, and 1-1/2" long with a single seed. These grafted trees will grow to 20' or more but can be maintained much smaller. They are very productive and early bearing. The fruit needs hot summers to ripen well. In cooler climates, pick it half brown and bring it inside to finish ripening. The myth of Zizyphus is that they are all tender subtropicals, but jujubes are hardy in USDA Zones 6 -10." Some of the varieties are partially self-fertile, but better with a pollinator. |

Hi, I'm sorry. I was busy lately so didn't check here for awhile. Here is the web site that I bought my Jujube from. It's too late to get it this year but you can e-mail them and reserve one for next year. http://www.treepeonygarden.com/english/index-eng.h tm Julia |
