I have a love/hate relationship with this tree. Very important; DO NOT plant Jujube in ground unless you're prepared to deal with highly invasive and destructive roots and shoots. They can send out roots and pop up as far as 50 feet from the main tree. Our back fence neighbor has a mature tree and I've been fighting thorny shoots ALL over the lawn for the last few years. It's gotten so bad that we started getting dead spots in the grass. Delicious fruit though.
Ahh this makes me miss the Jujube trees we planted back in Texas, they were so prolific and did amazing in the heat... I have been trying to find some tree seedlings to buy in Ontario, Canada but they are always sold out. I have plenty of other trees to plant for now, but I miss those dainty little star flowers!
I was surprised to hear you need two trees...yes I did originally plant two seeds from a friend's tree. My fruit is ready in July when we sometimes get rain in Chihuahua. If it rains, the fruit can crack. I think this is why it's hard to grow commercially because cracked fruit can grow mould. I give these a vinegar bath and cook them. Most new trees grow from an exposed root that was damaged by digging a hole for another plant. I pot these in winter. The leaves make an insect repellent by soaking them in vinegar. The small prickles are very irritating so the tree makes a good security fence if you are willing to donate fruit.
Thank you for your video. I had just purchased some ju ju 🐝’s at our Asian Market and I came here to learn more. I wasn’t sure when they were ripe or not and decided to just bite into one. I found that they do taste of apple, are dry and marshmallow-ey in a sense. I am not sure how I feel about them yet. I am inspired to try the dried ones as a tea however. 😊
You mention in the beginning of this video that jujube needs a little bit of special care, but I can't find where you talk about what that care would look like other than planting two for cross pollination. I'm trying to decide where to plant mine--I have a lot of land that is quite wet in the winter, at the bottom of a valley.
Awesome video 👏🏼 I live in Northern Canada climate zone 7b (5F-10F) would a Jujube be able to tolerate our climate. We get about 4 feet of snow in the winter.
I have been planting the heck out of them and grafting varieties on root stock suckers, but haven't gotten a crop yet on the 2 yr old Li and Sugar cane. What do yours get as far as fertilizer? We are organic, and just this year did I think it would be wise to put down fertilizer for them. I went with the Hollytone chicken manure based stuff. Whatever you are doing seems to be working.
I love jujube fruit .my grandma or grandpa planted the tree in summer. there were lot of fruit ,all kids from or neighbour came and enjoy the fruit and even in our school break time our school friends came to eat berries. But now there are no more jujube trees .I want to plant trees there( Kashmir)give me the best tip to grow.thank you so much in advance
I have two jujube trees in my backyard..Georgia 388 and Li..both in the ground for 5 years now but has not fruit on them..lots of flowers but no fruit..can u give me advice for fruiting??
Portland has similar weather. They can definitely be grown in the UK. They make it a little bit of die back if you have a very cold temperatures for an extended period but the plant will bounce back
Can dried ones be eaten straight out of the bag? I've never tried jujubes but I found a bag that I bought in my spice cupboard, I ended up here because I've decided to finally use them, and was looking for ideas... Then growing videos appeared in the suggestions 😂 I was also wondering if they can grow in the UK 😊
Greetings from zone 8b in the South Puget Sound. Any feedback on productivity/cultivar selection? I know we have a difficult time for this given our relatively mild summers. I have a very small lot here in Tacoma and really want to grow jujubes, but I have to plan carefully so wondering if its worth it?
just wonder how old is your tree. I live in happy valley Oregon and I have about 7 different kinds of jujube but they have not produced any fruits yet.
@@kim-uyentruong3416 here in Oregon, the weather is cold and wet. My jujube is still dormant at this time of the year. I can harvest my jujube in late October. I got quite a bit of sugar cane and honey jar jujube. My ga886 has not produced any fruit yet.
Wow, how to do you attract bees at 120 degree heat?. My tree produce lots of flowers but no insect, therefore not too much fruits. My tree is very skinny like fish bone at 25 ft high. How do you get them to grow fat stump? It got plenty of fertilizer and water.
I’ve got a Li Jujube and am going to purchase a Lang. I’ve heard of people planting two in one hole. My trees are in 17 gallon containers. Can I do that in containers as well? And can I plant two in one hole with other fruit trees, like pomegranate, peach, apple or fig?
@@ParkrosePermaculture You should plant GA-866 variety, Its the best. I have planted Li, Lang and GA866. and now consider replacing the other 2 with GA866.
You'll notice if you watch my other videos that I make a point of saying most of the trees in my garden, I have grafted myself. I took a workshop on it almost two decades ago.
@@ParkrosePermaculture I only saw that video. I teach fruit tree grafting. You didn't have a good teacher if you are cutting yourself, which should never happen.
Great. I’m already out of room for another tree on my small suburban plot but now you make me want to plant a jujube. Thanks a lot!
I use the ‘2 trees in one hole’ planting method also. I actually find that they do better when planted like this, than if planted solo.
My wife's from China. They add Red Dates (dried Jujube) to a number of cooked food particularly soups.
besides tea, we use dried jujube in cooking as well. also, in deserts.

great tip on the insect repellent ,thanks! better videos out there on youtube about planting , different varieties, recipes ....
Great , il faut protégerTanks du froid en hiver ??? Les jeunes plants ??? Thanks for you ranswer
That 2 Tree variety is GENIUS! If you ever sell any seeds let me know definitely a fruit I'd be looking for.

I have a clone and a seedling, cannot wait for fruits

Almost spongy. We love them

I completely neglect them 😂. They are planted in my poultry paddock, and so they do get a lot of fertilizer from the chickens and ducks.
We had one of those but we had to take it down. The roots we’re getting out of hand an growing invasive

Hello Angela, I would love to grow this tree here in Central Florida, thanks for sharing 🌱
I love Jujubes whether fresh or in soup, can you it in UK weather?
Portland has similar weather. They can definitely be grown in the UK. They make it a little bit of die back if you have a very cold temperatures for an extended period but the plant will bounce back
@@ParkrosePermaculture Thank you so much, do you plant it directly from the dried red jujube fruit? Or cut out the outer shell?

@@PrincessFidelma yes, you can eat dried one as snack.
Watching from India
I like your critical role shirt :)
Hi...what do I do if they crack while they are green? Is it safe to eat them green?

Is your jujubes grafted or seedling or marcotted? I bought mine in winter June, 2021, fruiting in Jan/Feb 2022.
I'm in Australia

Where do you find your trees and will they grow in Missouri I live 10 miles out of Lake of the Ozarks dead center in Missouri
I am also looking for some red currents they’re not very abundant around here

Are you watering the tree? They are drought tolerant, but that is high heat, especially if it is new.

How old is this plant and what’s behind this plant which is bearing fruits also please? Thanks
I think you’re asking about the fig behind it? It’s a Desert King Fig.

Can i buy the seeds and send it to Kuta Bali?
Which varieties do you have?
I have a Li and a Sherwood

Hello❤❤
0:45 You really need to learn how to graft. It's not that hard if you find a good teacher, in-person.

AGAIN NOTHING ABOUT SEED GERMINATION.....USELESS
@ParkrosePermaculture What are your average temps during the growing/fruiting seasons in Portland?
