I care about the idea of a food forest. I am 71 years old. I hope to establish a food forest for as long as I'm able. Thankyou for your energy!
Cotting White that’s beautiful my friend. All the best, I’ve subscribed to your channel hope you upload your progress once you begin.
That's awesome I hope you reach your goals
Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it!
It is never to late to get started my friend! I am 64 and hubby and I are building our retirement home right now (yes, we chose a HORRIBLE time to build a house! Our windows have been on order since November 2021!) We are going to have a fruit forest in our back yard! Hopefully we will live a long time and enjoy the fruits for many years, but if we do not, then someone else will get to enjoy it and that is a good thing too!
We picked the jujubee fruit in Arizona and Utah. You can let the fruit get fully ripe as it changes to the mahoghany color and then you can pit it, powder it, and dry it into a date sugar. If you dry them whole they will last for years in a jar in a cold cellar. This is a great fruit to have.
Never seen anyone so excited about trees!
I think he's also growing cannabis.
My sweet grandmother planted a jumble tree and a pomegranate tree for my parents years before she passed, and they bear beautiful and delicious fruit for us, every single year.. we are forever grateful. We have done little to maintain and upkeep, yet they are thriving as always. I’d like to think she is taking care of everything for us from heaven ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This fruit is very common in india and the jujube tress generally gives the fruits in the month of December in india. And it is known as "ber" in Hindi language.
Lots of love from india
Ber fruit is indian jujube ziziphus mauritiana not the Chinese one ziziphus jujuba
Cool, thanks. How are they used in India?
@@@meredithr9824 it use for consumption like any other food we consume. Varieties of jujube fruits can be seen in india, famously consumed jujube in india is wild jujube they are dark red in colour and tastes sour and sweet and have small seed in them. They look similar to berries.
@@shivanimeena546 sorry, i meant how are they prepared to eat? Juice? salad? Or just plain, by themselves?
@@meredithr9824 they are just taken plain. No juice no salad....in india they are enjoyed in their original form only.
I just bought one of these from my local garden centre - I am in a pretty hot, dry summer climate, but we get very cold weather too, glad Mr Prigioni happened to have a video about this. I really need trees that don't need too much pampering so I've got high hopes for this one. I plan to do exactly what you did, plant it under a sour cherry tree which I don't expect to survive too many more seasons, and let it benefit from the rotting root matter later on. I feel like I am more interested in the fruit in its dry, date-like stage, as we can't grow dates where I am due to frost, so this might be the next best thing :).
Here in Southern California we can grow them too and they really do taste like a crisp delicious apple in the beginning and if you let them stay on the tree for a while they begin to taste more like a sweet date
James your videos are awesome and you are a modern American hero yay
Date paste made from jujube is fantastic
My eyes are honestly glued on the red tree...
This is famous tree in Saudi Arabia and Arab countries ,called "nejeb,seder or ebri". It's summer fruit. The leaves "seder leave" is excellent for hair growth. Thank you
A Ai - in Lebanon it’s called 3naab - an’nab
@@organicgrow4440 In Kuwait we call it kinaar
That red cherry tree is beautiful. Can't wait for mine to get big
Short, informative, and to the point, I like that. 🙂
Give Tuck a piece of Jujube for me😋.
Glad to hear that Stephanie! I wanted to get right into it 😁
Will do ❤️🐕
This fruit reminded me of crunchy nutty(English walnut flavor) Apple. Don't eat till it scabs over and are still good dried up on the tree. A MUST HAVE for the garden
You have beautiful garden, 😄😄
Thank you so much.
We bought a house in eastern San Diego and it has a 15 year old jujube. I must have pulled 250 red, yummy squishy "dates" off of it. You're right, it loves the heat. Great tree!
Sounds like a tree with a lot of virtues.
I love Jujube, a yummy fruit with tons of nutritions and benefits. ❤️
Great video and great to meet you at the talk the other day. Thanks for sharing all your experience and taking us all along for the ride!
🌻Awesome, I will definitely grow that tree. Thank’s James.🌻
I enjoy your videos!
Great content. God bless you!
JUJUBE are my favorite fruit
Looking forward to the benefits
Thank you Tuck & James! Jujube is on my list to order soon!
My neighbor has one and now I want one based on this video, thanks brother.
Hi James! It’s been a while since I have been able to watch your videos. Finally I had time to watch today, and watching this made me smile. Your videos are always so great. I have been dreaming of getting a jujube tree. Maybe now is the time! Thank you for sharing the fruit. I have never seen it up close like that.
Love to you & Tuckeroo🐶❣️
Awe, your so sweet Jaquiobear!
Your welcome and thank you for the kind words.
Love from me and Tuck to you also ❤️😁
Thanks for broadening my fruit tree awareness!
Missed you, glad to see you again. That’s a neat tree 👍😁. I think my goji berry is the one fruit I planted this year that’s unusual for this area. I’ve been researching to find others that are different. Might have to check this out. Thanks James!
We planted two jujube at the end of last winter, and we did not expect much except hopefully keeping it from dying! They have flowered, and shot out several divisions of branches. We did buy two varieties, Li was one. I haven't seen fruit this year, but hopefully we will see some next year. We are in zone 7B, and these two trees have flourished, in clay soil, full sun with minimal soil amendment. The trees were a bit pricey but I am not at all disappointed with this investment, because I believe it will pay off just by how well they have grown and already flowered in their first year. So excited to see your video with the fruits so I know what to be on the look out for! Thanks so much! I've really enjoyed watching your videos. We are working to turn our manicured yard into an edible landscape that is permaculture friendly. You have given me hope that it's definitely possible to grow food not just grass in the suburbs and cities!
Great video/info. Those jujubes looked tasty! Thanks for the history lesson. Get it Tuck!
Super cool . I'm just now starting to plant my Apple seeds they've got a nice root started on them . I'm so excited !! . I found your channel just looking for information on grafting apple trees
Thank you for sharing, I've never heard of this fruit.
In Italy we make Jujube juice/wine….. it is UNREAL
Thank you for the information! I love learning about new trees!!!
Your welcome Lisa! I’m glad you enjoyed it 😊
Hmmmm interesting very interesting
Tuck is just like a foreman, keeping an eye on everything. Nice video. I never heard of that tree but it's one I'd like to try.
Haha! I don’t like to admit it, but yeah he is in charge lol 🐕🤣
James, yes we love seeing a dog with rare intelligence, digging up roots to crunch down on, love ur asides with him letting us see his latest antics. So much affection for each other, love to share that with you both. You are amazing coach & teacher & you get a lot taught in short amount of time with a lot of enthusiastic info, thank you so much!
Btw, do you get monies from YT if we cut ads short?
Jujube is a very delicious fruit, you must not miss it
My grandson age 4 planted a jujube on his bday.we'll see how that grow.tasted the fruit it's delicious.
Thanks for the Jujube episode James. I'm in Phoenix and that is one of the trees I am considering so very timely.
I know I am late but here in the desert region of Texas called El Paso this tree thrives the fruit is free anywhere you go
I love your channel!! Take care! ❤️❤️❤️
You two make the best team!
I need to get this tree for my permaculture garden ! I've come across it from time to time in my garden brochures but I didn't know how it tasted ! thanks for sharing !
Nice big gardens very good you can grown lots of fruits trees and vegetables as well thank you for your beautiful video from. Spain
Looks good. I may have to try it out at my place. Summers here are getting hotter and drier and planting plants that might not do amazing now but will in 10 plus years as the summers continue to get hotter would be a good long term investment. Thanks for sharing!
I was given a tigertooth jujube variety recently. Got to try some fruit from a mature one and really enjoyed it. Very prolific fruiter with low maintenance.
Great video. Never heard of that tree. Thanks for sharing info on it.
Thanks Linda! Yeah it’s a different one, but really tasty and easy to grow 👍❤️
Thanks for the concise and informative video!
They are really good dehydrated as well.
We have a Li and a Lang Jujube - this is their third year and exploding with fruit here in Zone 9b (SW Arizona). Harvesting a lot of fruits. Yes those thorns keep grabbing my hair. Yesterday I discovered they have new blossoms - maybe because I gave them fruit tree fertilizer a couple of weeks ago. Love these trees - not only for the fruit but the foliage is absolutely gorgeous and they are getting tall. Judi
Oh and our Barbados Cherry tree (also three years old) has started producing fruit - so yummy. Will be taking cuttings to try growing more Barbados Cherry trees (it definitely needs pruning but I want to wait until this extreme heat wave subsides a bit - most days these past few weeks the temps are 112 to 114+ degrees - SO HOT - but she is doing so well). Judi
I was wondering where was my man Tuck! Thank you for the information. It looks like an interesting tree to grow.
I have one in California. You can dehydrate the fruit and it's great. You can also make a wonderful fall tea. Add 20 dehydrated jujubes and 2 Asian Pears in water. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 2 hours. Lovely!!!
I used to buy a medium-sized bag of dehydrated jujubes at the farmers market for $20. Now I have my own!
Great!Thank you!😇🙏
we picked a lot of fruit off the ones at the farm this spring, wanted the trees to focus on growth this year, next year is gonna be a big harvest for sure
Nice! I planted Lang and then realized it needs Li, so I ordered that too!
Yum!
Yeah, it’s delicious 😁
Great tips,I want a jujube!🤪
Like that idea. :D Will look into those trees.
What is the beautiful red tree behind you??
It looks like a bassia scoparia, but I didn't know they got that tall.
It looks like a mature burning bush.
@@kiyannawilliams7646 That's what it is!
Interesting video!
Thanks Derek 😁
@@jamesprigioni Here in southern Kentucky, I've still got onions, carrots growing, kale growing and cabbage. I'm pouring bagged leaves onto the garden, fertilized the yard last week. I didn't need lime this year. I'm about ready to winterize my lawn mowers. Once all of these are accomplished, my outside work is about finished.
Reminds me of the mountain apples we have in the valleys in Hawai'i.
Just found the video, and now I'm wanting to get a hold of a Jujube tree for the food forest!
Jujube trees are nitrogen fixing, just in case you didn't know...this is definitely one for any permaculturists out there.
Nice jujubes! I like them when they are more mature and dry. They have more of a carmelized flavor then, I think. I've enjoyed quite a few by 'urban foraging' in Tucson, AZ over the years. They seem to sprout well from seed, too. So maybe you will be growing more to spread that jujube appreciation! Exotic fruit are a nice addition to any landscape because so many aren't bothered by our standard pests. Enjoy those jujubes! :D
Now I wana grow a Jujube!!😁
Try making one ingredient jujube cookies. Cut the though the flesh down to the nut. Dry at 150F for 12 hours. After 12 hours the fruit will still be soft inside and not completely dried. At this point, split the fruit in half along the cut and remove the seed. Dry at 150F for another 12 hours. Let the jujube cool to room temperature. The dried jujube has the taste and texture of a cookie.
Ur awesome , I got flowers on my tree right now in Virginia Beach , they are soooo seeet !
I for sure need some of those
Yeah brother. They are right go your alley
I just picked up a Chinese Shanxi Province jujube cultivar called 'Jin' that is only sold in the US at one nursery near me. It grows straight up similar to a pine tree. I am looking forward to getting it in the ground this weekend! Thanks for the motivation!
Great video James never had one!!!
You see I have one of these in my new back yard it is super big, and we were told it was an apple tree, a neighbor informed us on what it really was, I’m quite excited
Good info. I've been thinking of making a fruit juice or puree with the jujube. We'll see.
This channel has forced me to step up my game.james has a very well planned food forest.great vid.
we bought 2 jujubes from Burnt Ridge Nursery 3 years ago. Got our 1st fruit this year! But we were pulling vines from the tree and accidentally pulled the fruits off too green. They were really good even though green . We live in central Alabama, and they grow very well.
I love this fruit. In zambia we call it Masau
Thanks!! I just bought two jujube trees today! It's really popular where I live in Italy, where it's called Giuggiolo :)
DAMN !!! This got me hungry tbh 😭❤️, u never disappoint us james , always got us on our tiptoes 😂🔥. Thx for another MAGNIFICENT vid as always james and tucky, LOVE & Support!!
james: i have heard of the tree but have never seen it and have never seen the fruit. thanks for showing and sharing. carmine p
I'm going to get another one, I'm in the high desert area in California. I have a lang variety that produces fruit, now I will look for a Li. Thanks, I'm a fan of your channel.
In mallorca this fruit is known as ginjol. I love it!
I have one in Moreno Valley CS zone 9b. Great fruit. Ready to prune.
Does Tuk like to eat Jujubes? I see he's enjoying a carrot at the end of this video! I can't wait until I get a house with a good yard for growing a garden! I will use your knowledge in your videos to start growing fruit trees!
CRFG also has a downloadable magazine that is worth the cost of membership.All color pics and very informative.
Congratulations, for your work whit the vegetables and tree fruits, I see your videos with my doughter of eleven years, and she´s your follower, my desire is that GOD blessing your work and tech your videos to lern for to be entrepreneur. Kind regards of Genesis de Leon (11) and his mom Magdalena, of Mazatenango, Guatemala City.
My Mom has one (SF Bay Area), now about 15 feet high. I've always hated the fruit, but maybe that's because we've always waited until they're dark red and shrivelled before eating them.
Jujubes aren't rare. They're very common in Chinese cuisine and can be seen in Asian supermarkets everywhere, even here in the U.S. Dried jujube is especially popular as they have a stronger flavor that tastes completely different from the fresh fruit, almost like honey. Sometimes you can enjoy the dried fruit just as it is, but dried jujube is more often soaked in hot water to make a tea or put into sweet dessert soups. Some people also put them into zongzi for mid-Autumn festival. Candied jujubes are also very popular and taste very similar to dates from date palms.
I have a tree. I have been eating them my whole life. There are better fruit. Everyone says how a jujube is like an apple. Nobody says how an apple is like a jujube.
He literally says they are not rare and are plentiful in China. Lmao some people are so eager to seem knowledgeable they can’t even stop themselves before commenting a completely redundant comment
Thank you. It is rare to get this sort of outline of what is what with the Jujube. We will plant one for sure, after listening to this. We are establishing a Permaculture Food Fores on 1/4 acre in Portland, Oregon. Jujube sounds like a good candidate for the parking strip, where we need something tough. Jujube is medicinal in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Not sure what parts or how.
I love Jujube. The tree is not very big, but the root system is massive and it can shoot out very far. Not sure if different varieties have different rooting system, but the one I've seen and grew up with, their roots go out very far which can affect or damage some building foundation or sidewalk etc. I have two jujube tree at my property, which I planted very far away toward the very back of the property. I live in the country with big lot. The property adjacent to the back of my property raise cow, horses which they keep them back close to where my jujube trees are.
hi Tuck..jujube is an interesting fruit
I hope that you continue to improve and grow ur channel good luck...
:]
Wow james I had no idea that you were growing a jujube
I have a Li & a Lang jujubee, no thorns. When a sucker popped up, THAT had thorns. I'm in DE, I've clay soil & just put compost now & then , they're about 25-30 ft tall. I LOVE my jujube. I wonder how long the trees live.
WOW HYPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you! This is my first time to see a jujube fruit... I have to get back to a Chines movie mentioning about the largest Jujube Tree in Town...
We love jujubes!! Five years I was trying to group them in my yard but they died on me , we can eat them all day also cook them when it’s dry.
we have one over 20 years old about 15 feet and I never have to water it, extreme temps in our area get down to 33 and up to around 110 no issues at all. Only thing I don't like are the thorns and the fact that it sends out suckers like crazy, I've found suckers well beyond the drip line as far as 20 feet away from the tree. That's why you don't have to water it, the roots are extensive. Just water your yard and it will get the water somehow. Every now and then I'll see a young fresh sucker that I instinctively reach down to pull out and that's when the thorns will get you.
Ha! I just ordered two Jujube's earlier today.
Any update?
@@tyraeshields498 Yeah, they're both doing well. They're probably about 7 or so feet tall and last year was the second year I got fruit. I haven't gotten a season where they produced a ton or anything but I pretty much never water them and have never fertilized, plus they're still pretty young. They do pretty well here. I live in central Texas.
I need that tree.
It’s a good one 👍❤️
I can never eat enough of those ! My tree is 12 yrs old kept it prune every year
My jujube tree is flowering right now
Those fruits are mostly eaten when fully ripened, with rinkles, they develop lot more of flavour. It's not the same of an apple, so i think that if you want to it the jojobe fresh you can instead eat an apple.
