Its good to know they grow leaves late in season. I tought mine didn't make it through the winter.
I got my Jujube tree yesterday (West London). This is great information. Thank you
Great! Also, I’ve created many more videos on this tree as well
Thanks for the video. However, of note... I have a potted Lang (which the roots found soil, but that is another story) and it actually grew 7+ terminal shoots last year. I think it is maybe year 4-5 for this tree. Possibly that is a result of the roots finding soil.. and also wanting to have suckers grow up around the tree. I let those grow until they were taller than I wanted the tree to be and cut the growth point off. The down side of letting those grow is the energy to all those new main shoots (thick upward growing points) reduced the amount of fruit produced last season. But, I left them all to hopefully air layer this spring to make many new trees. Anyway, just sharing what I experienced this prior season with a Lang Jujube related to central leader growth (or what sure seemed to be). Wishing you well in your gardening.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience
I planted my jujube five years ago. It never grew any branches. It has sorta skinny trunk but fruiting. I always wonder why it never branches out. My wife told me not to prune it lol. I wanted to have more permanent branches and grow outward. I will have to look at it in the morning after watching this video. Thank you for sharing.
They are so unusual
You can prune them anywhere along those primary shoots just above a node.
If you want them to return to vertical growth, remove the side growth at the node as well.
If you want the tree to not grow vertical, leave the secondary on and that will delay the dormant buds of the primary for at least a year.
Thanks
@@ZaatarGardens Well, I've learned from you, so, thank you.
Anything good always comes around
Wow, this is the best info about jujube tree among all RUclips jujube video. I never know only grew 1 bud shoot each year. I was told to cut at certain easy fruit picking height. If you allow it to grow too high, it will be out of control height. There are 8 different type of jujube, which specie is the sweetest?
The most interesting plant I have growing in my garden and I have over 70 different fruit trees.
I summer prune all of my trees I’ve kept peaches below 8 feet for years now but having more jujubes is fine with me really the easiest fruit tree you can grow.
I believe the variety “sugarcane” is the sweetest
Just letting you know your comment didn’t come through
You can Tip the tops to make it a shade tree.
How cute is baby girl❤❤❤
We have a Lang and a Li tree and they are different the one is a perfect tree the lang the Li tree has the top growing but the branches alons the main stem didnt grow anything then at the lower base it grew quite bushy - we got it at lowes end of summer last year. This is first year it is growing and they are at least 7' tall - I keep wondering if I should trim that main branch that grew a top but isnt growing as vigorous as the rest ...lol I like you drives me nuts wondering if I should ... Ill wait till next winter and do it then - thanks for the informative video
Hey, great info man! So each branch sends only one terminal bud somewhere in its stem, usually at the top. Do you think maybe the tree is young that could be why it only sends out one new bud each time. Your tree might send out new suckers which will become a new "tree" from the ground right next to it. I think maybe the trick is to keep pruning at the highest point at the top where you could reach to keep it from going too high.
No... there’s only one new branch per year... period. What a weird plant
So far I believe the four years it’s been in the ground there has been no suckers and I think sucker growth is more in the “Lang” variety
Yeah, I just watched your other video. My parents has probably a Lang variety and that thing kept growing as high as it could until we had to prune it and it sent out like 10 new bud which became new branches at the top. And it has a lot of suckers. I'm going to have to keep pruning that thing to keep it within reach. Squirrels and animals get the fruits at the top before we can even get them.
Jujubes and pomegranates are my favorite fruits so I want to grow fruits from these two trees so bad yet I've haven't been successful here in Nebraska, zone 5b. Wrong place mostly lol. Our jujube doesn't wake up until mid May maybe, and if it does fruit, it ripens in around September, I just know that it's really late in the season.
Khiem Tran Lang needs a pollinator (as far as I know) do you or Neighbor have one...?
Always remember for Jujubes, one cut stops, two cuts sprouts!
Thank you for this!
When is the best time to cut the branch because my tree is also leaning on one side and Im afraid it might break
And that is exactly when you cut it. If you’re worried, cut it, you will never regret cutting it now, but you will always regret not cutting it when it breaks later
When it gets about up to your waist, if you prune the central shaft to about your knee, you will force it to grow like a bush. It will still get 20-30 feet tall, but it will be more bushlike in growth and a good % of the fruit will be easily obtained by hand or with a basket on a stick.
Thank you! Maybe it is better that it grew upward since I planted it in a tight spot, I will cut it back severely up about 7ft
Which variety do you have, just asking because the Li variety really just wants to go straight up
@@ZaatarGardens Li. It still wants to ultimately grow straight up, but you are forcing it to make multiple stalks going up, each with their own growths off the sides.
@zaatargardens have you had any issues with the invasive roots of your jujube tree? We really want to plant it in ground, but are hesitant cause of the feedback about the invasive roots damaging property....
I have had this question the most from this tree online and I haven’t seen any problem yet but I did plant it the farthest away from my house I haven’t seen any root suckers or any other problem. Although the “Lang” variety I have seen root suckers coming up from the pot from the nursery so I think that varieties more prone to it but don’t quote me on that. This variety is “Li” self-fertile variety.
It will grow tall, but not indefinitely. I never pruned my jujube, but it stopped growing taller. It became bushy on its own.

Wow thanks!!!
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks! Love good or bad feedback
Laguna hills nursery on RUclips explains all the ways you can Prune jujube trees
....oooooohhhhh.... thanks I’m going to check it out! It was still pretty beneficial for me to learn the hard way I guess...
Laguna hills nursery taught me a lot about soil and plants and trees are supposed to grow. I do believe that they are right in that plants can grow just sand outside, but indoors, "playsand" is still too small for some fruit trees since it doesn't drain very well. Outside, everything is fine growing in sand or any of that type of inorganic mixture.
I am looking jujube last 10 years
1 cut STOP, 2 cut SPROUT
Hmmm
