I started some jujube rootstock this yr with the plan to graft them once they are large enough. Started a few from seed in April and by September one seedling had already grown 27" and produced a single flower.
I have had really good fruit set on my Sugarcane, and spotty fruit set on my Honeyjar and multigraft trees that are right next to it. My working theory is that the bee balm and hostas are planted under the Sugarcane tree and attracting pollinators to the tree. Those plants seem to have blooms that overlap the bloom period of the jujube trees.
How big of a pot do you have them in? I want one but worried about the roots damaging the foundation of my house since I heard the roots are really invasive.
I haven't watered my Honey Jar in probably...a month maybe? For out here, that's saying a lot, we can have dry spells for weeks or months at a time. I will probably put it on drip irrigation eventually, but I'm trying to test and see how tough it really is. They definitely leaf out after our last frost in zone 6B. Looking forward to adding another (probably Sugarcane). I definitely like the green / mottled ripeness better than the fully dried. They're really good when crisp. FYI, you have to do some additional pruning to get lateral growth. Here's an article that might help: aces.nmsu.edu/pubs/_h/H330.pdf . Basically, I think you have to take off the next secondary branch (lateral) below your tipping or pruning of the primary shoot (i.e. main leader). The dormant buds are very stubborn and I think this extra pruning will wake them up.
They have an umbrella shaped weeping habit when very large here in Florida. Very beautiful landscape tree in my opinion.

Wow. In one year? Where did you get the seeds, from dried jujubes?
Thanks for the taste test! I have heard that sime of the jujubes dont taste very good and it was great to get your input!

Johnny,
I totally agree. Lack of pollination must be the answer. I'm gonna plant some shallots underneath as well. Their blooms also coincide.
Hello Ross. I am looking to buy a honey jujube tree. Where were you bought it? If you don’t mind could you please let me know? Thank you very much.
I Just Bought One From Fast Growing Trees With 1 Year Warranty My First Jujubee I Picked Honey Jar

Is it possible to hand pollinate these?
Please put more videos about other fruit trees also
absolutely honey jar is the best to me
Use dill, works just like fennel for parasitic wasps and it flowers earlier.
Hello Ross where do you buy your CHE tree from? thank you
