Chinese Jujube
 Chinese Jujube tolerates desert condition well .It gives fruits even in poor soil. Cold or summer heat have little effect on it .TheJujubes are elegant plants. They are nearly 20" tall and 12' wide. The zigzag pattern of the branch growth is unusual and looks bizarre in the winter on leafless branches.The bigeners can handle it easily . Lang Jujube The size of Lang Jujube is 1 1/2 inches .Fruits are sweet and crunchy and taste like apple .When dried it resimbles date .( That is why it is known as Chinese date too.) The Lang Jujube tree is rather small in size and is more of an upright grower . Jujube trees are self-fertile (although they have greater yield with another variety nearby). Fruit ripes in September. Li Jujube Tree. Plant care
No especial care is needed.Jujube tree can take our hot sun very well.
Irrigation
Plant is drought tolerant.To get good crop it need watering regularly in summer months.As with all my fruits trees I irrigate them 7-14 days during growing season.During winter every 4-6 week.
Fertilizer
We have 3-5 inch thick layer partially compost mulch around the tree drip line .It need regular fertilizer during summer months.
