In China, it’s called “Big/Large dates” as its size is bigger than normal dates. I thought they came from the same family. Both fresh and dried fruits taste just like dates. Thank you for sharing. Your video is so informative. I enjoy every single one.
Thx4🙏💖🕊great post when a kid there were hard jellied candies called Jujubees … never saw these trees for sale .. i’ve Florida food forest .. birds planted paws paws . they like Jujubees don’t preserve for commercial sale
I was excited to see you also have a GA-866 Jujube tree. This is the variety I have! I have had subpar harvests after about 6 years and I think you have answered my question. I thought about buying two but they are a bit hard to find here. I went to a great specialty fruit garden center and found the GA-866 but they were out of all their other varieties. I wonder if I just had a second GA-866 if it woudl help? My tree is going to the moon here in the Panhandle of Florida as you noted in Florida! I did find one negative. This tree sprouts, way away fromt eh tree. So i have to keep that under control.
Thanks so much for sharing! I wouldn't even know about jujube if it weren't for a gorgeous specimen on the Arizona State University campus that made it one of my favorite trees even if the blossoms didn't have such an out-of-this-world fragrance and the fruit wasn't so tasty. The original varieties come from China. Like the Tulipidendron ( Tulip tree) I believe it harkens back to before China and the Eastern US broke away from each other. The only remnant in the US occurs in Central Florida on a single ridge and with the massive extinction rate I'm not sure if it still exiztd. I believe there are no other members of the genus except those two populations. It's a valuable landscape tree that just shouldn't be as rare as it is.
I treat my Jujube fruit as Olives, I ferment them in water for about 8-days, and then I put them to Brine....Just Perfection! This is done just as the fruit begins to blush, no further, otherwise they are too pithy and best held for complete ripening and dehydration. They keep well, and I usually can use all my fruit in one year's time! Cakes and you name it!
Glad you dont have the drought Texas and some other states have. 3 of our pines in Texas out front died this summer. Couldn't put in a garden like we planned.
I’m interested to know if you’ve had issues with suckering? Apparently their stong roots will travel far and can impact underground pipes etc. interested to know your experience thanks great video very informative !
So I have that tree it is almost 3 years old it's tall and it produce only 12 fruit this year I was so excited my question is do I need to prune the tree to get it better for next year what do you do? Please answer me I live in Oklahoma
I found two abandoned jujube trees in my city. I am regularly harvesting from them over the last couple of weeks, as I did last year. I wish I could tell which varieties they are, but they are about 25 feet tall and loaded with fruit even though we have had three months of drought here in Oklahoma. Do you know if they can be propagated by cuttings?
I’m a long way from that kind of harvest. I ordered a sugar cane and GA866 back in July. 3-4’ bare roots that are scheduled to ship next week. I’m in zone 9b Louisiana. Any idea how many years before I see fruit?
I have one in Virginia. It's easily my lowest maintenance tree and has zero pest and disease issues. It looks great and unique also.

Thank you so much😍
Good Morning
Wow it's very nice information
Thanks You for sharing about this plant.
Good information, thank you! 🙏🏽
Indian kashmiri apple jujubee is the best tasting jujubee. It is red, green , yellow colored.
I plant red indian juube in Thailand for 500 trees.
Thank you

Fascinating - thanks for the info - I've never heard of these before, I wonder if they will grow in the UK (London area).
Amazing video , thanks for mentioning the varieties names
Dont stop making videos
My favorite jujube!! 🍀
Love it..👍👍
So I have that tree it is almost 3 years old it's tall and it produce only 12 fruit this year I was so excited my question is do I need to prune the tree to get it better for next year what do you do? Please answer me I live in Oklahoma
What online nursery do you recommend for ordering jujubes?
Wow
Why didn’t you prune them to keep them short?
Can we get seeds of the same
Do I need to plant 2 or 3 to have the perfect pollination? Or I will be be ok with 1?

Do you know if they can be propagated by cuttings?
Yes u can air layer them, u can find out by looking it up. It's really cool, u can iarlayer then and wait like a month to see roots then take them
@@MrGreen-dp4oz or just take a cutting

From what I read, it takes 1 to 2 years to start bearing fruit.
Nice video...can you contain these in a container..live in zone 7
Do you think this type of tree would work espaliered?
Can they grow in North Florida??
Thank you for the information. Where can I find the tree or seed?
Do they all have sharp thorns, or is it just mine?
I know the Li has thorns but the Sherwood has little to no thorns. It depends on the variety you selected.
If I had one of these how much of an issue does it create with wildlife (deer/mice/ rodents etc)
Deer *loved* our Jujubes in CO. Had to close-fence them while they were young.
Do you prune these trees?
You do need 2 trees to pollinate each other?
2 varieties ensure cross-pollination.
Can I buy seeds from you my friend
How can you preserve the fruit?
It dries by itself.
Still haven't gotten one. They were already pricey before the economy went to crap.
Which climate this trees like?
Do the birds not get to them first
Can we plant a Jujube tree in autumn if yes which month is ideal ?
