I found your chanel earlier today, searching for tips on pruning jujube trees. I recently bought a 3000m2 off grid plot with a small house in southern Spain. After watching a few of your vids, we have a lot in common, I have 55 fruit trees, including figs, peach, pear, banana, olives, many citrus , plus 20 grape vines. It also came with 8 laying hens. I'm a fruit tree noob, so I'll be following with interest. Many thanks for todays tips on Jujube.
Wow! Making me want to move to Spain. What growing zone are you? I'm 9a
@@eljardinperdido I'm in the far south west corner of Spain, zone 10. We rarely ever get frost, but we can get close to it in February. Today I'm going to make a start on the eight mature fig trees.
After seeing your Jujube tree and all of the off-shoot growth... I'm digging up my 3' tree and putting it in a 23" pot. Thanks for the video amigo.... Javier
Non problem. I left these to grow for more than a year, so the growth is a little exaggerated. I wanted to see what kind of fruit the rootstock had. They’re decent, just not very big.
Is the Li fruit worth the challenges of this tree?
@@burstreviews8336 I love jujubes. Totally worth it.
Jujubes dont do well in pots, the roots will need lots of space,if you want good quality fruits.Just prune it as a single stem tree,and cover the base of the tree with black thick plastic,jujubes are really invasive in very hot climate zones,like Arizona,New Mexico,in desert zones!
@@adrianbobo9755 Thanks Adrian.... I'll leave the tree in the ground and use any root sprouts to plant in pots, give away to family and friends .... and use one or two as cross pollinators!!!
I have a LangJujube that was supposedly "bearing age" of 5-7 years that arrived from the nursery with just a 6ft central leader with all the branches cut off. It also had damaged bare roots. It somehow pulled through and this year in its second summer, it produced three fruit. It is about 8-9 feet tall and side branches are tiny. I don't want it to get any taller. I'd like to prune it for production so I can reach all the fruit. Have you ever topped one off or know of anyone who has? I've heard topping off peach trees (at least) as much as down to waist height, can greatly increase production of fruit since the fruit only grow on first and second year growth. So regular pruning is great for production.
Yes, they grow like crazy, So i'm always topping. Top while dormant, and they will spring back and bear fruit once it warms up.
whats the best way to keep it short?
i pruned it back when i planted it bare root.... its finally starting to break bud for the first time
i wanna graft a diff type on it for cross pollination
its a LI
Just keep up with pruning it while it’s dormant before spring. Also an excellent time to graft. My jujube grafts just broke a few weeks ago. 🙂
Wow, that is call lots of bush not a tree. My tree grow into one tall single 25 ft skinny tree. There is no pruning require because there are hardly any long side branch. How do you train your tree to become a bush for easy harvest fruits. And what kind of fertilizer mixture to make this tree grow bigger, wider stump. My tree is so skinny like a chopstick.
It’s called topping. Cut it to your liking every winter or early spring. It’d probably be ok if you did it now, but you’d miss out on fruit this year. Not ‘ideal’ to prune in summer, but jujubes are beasts.
@@eljardinperdido yes, it is very dangerous, it pull my hair and clothing. Them thorn is very painful. I call it the vampire tree. The flower s always fall off and there are hardly any bees in AZ. Birds and bees are dying bc the hot heat at 120 degree heat wave. do you think we should never remove the grafting parafilm until the monsoon season Is over?. My first time I learn to succeed graft the Lang jujube scion onto a wild Indian jujube rootstock. It is 117 degree now, I fear it might die back bc the heat.
I think jujubes are pretty resilient. I’d take the film off and put shade cloth above it if you’re worried.
I transplanted in start of winter they are still in dorment phase will they grow as the temperature rises or wre they dead i m from Pakistan so it is ideal for jujube plantation i have around 2100 plants please do guide me it would be really helpful
When in doubt, do the 'scratch test.; Scrape the bark a little with your nail and look for green. It's almost certainly just dormant. If there's green, they will be waking up in warmer months with more sun.
Could you have chopped a couple of those central leaders down and the tree would be okay??? If you wanted to control the height of the canopy more? I have a two year old tree and it has barely sent out any shoots and any suckers. I think I'll just hand saw the center leader a couple inches down to encourage growth this coming season? What do you think?
As long as it is dormant, yes. They are incredibly vigorous
I'm so greedy for more new jujube plants, that I dig them when they are tiny sprouts.
I can’t keep up with all the shoots!
@@eljardinperdido I'm a chestnut grower who was introduced to jujube by my Asian grocery store owner customers who wanted me to start growing some for them. I have 30 in the ground, ......11 grafted and 19 root stocks with 15 more young ones for root stock, and 3 grafted going in this year. Thanks for posting the video.
@@Qingeaton I've only grafted one. I need more varieties to graft!
Does it need another tree for fruits?
No, but it helps for more pollination and therefore more fruit. That’s why I let the rootstock grow out.
How do you fertilize and water your jujube tree since your jujube tree grew vigorously? Do you spray any chemicals for disease control? My jujube trees were attacked by several diseases last year (powdery mildew in early spring, black spots in summer, different kind of leave spots in fall) so that they didn't grow any fruits. Where do you live? How old is your jujube tree? Do you prune your jujube tree every winter? Thanks.
I have't had any issues. I have really rich soil, and haven't fertilized either. Just mulch and water regularly. If you're having pest problems, your tree may be struggling in some way. Possibly poor soil, not enough, or too much water? I've had zero issues.
