We just planted a jujube a week ago. I tasted them fresh and it’s delicious! I agree… crunchy like an apple and tastes sweet too. I bought it from a sweet Vietnamese lady who also said prune after every fruiting to keep it short and keep it very prolific! It’s already got new growth on it. Very exciting. Zone 10A
I miss apples a lot too and so the jujube is great! Great idea to grow it in front of the property too. I have so much sand in the very front I haven’t even started to regenerate that soil yet
It's my favorite fruit. Well, certain varieties are anyway. "Li" was probably my favorite overall. Reliable bearer, and didn't have to be completely brown to be tasty. The ripe ones are excellent. I grew five different varieties in N.C. up until about 6 years ago.
Lol I did the same things when I got a ton of Glenn mangos from a neighbor. This Sunday I’m taking a local grafting class in Englewood so I’m excited to learn how to graft on my mango babies! 😊
Hi Paul, love your videos. Question: if I live in Boca where do you recommend I buy a Jujube tree from? Excalibur only has the Indian variety, and I believe your recommendation is for the Thai Jujube?
@@FruitfulTrees thanks, do you know if the Thornless Thai is this the one they have at all the nurseries like Excalibur? Because at Excalibur they call it an Indian jujube...
In Australia you are looking at paying between $130 and $150 per tree. Hopefully, in the next couple of years we will get more suppliers and the price will become more affordable.
Grow some wild jujube plants and the next year order some whips of the variety you want, and graft them to it. They usually grow faster and fruit earlier than nursery grafted plants. I used to buy the whips from a nursery in California for $6.00 each. But that was over 15 years ago, so I'm sure they are more expensive today. Can't remember the man's or nursery name, but at the time he was one of the leading experts in the U.S. on jujubes. I think his father or grandfather brought some of the first ones to the U.S.
Paul, love your videos. Sometimes I think you are mixing up your jujubes though. There are 2 species which are Ziziphus mauritiana (Indian jujube) and Ziziphus jujuba (Chinese jujube). In California, most of varieties grown and the breeding work done here are on Z. jujuba. They are very heat and frost tolerant. They truly go dormant in winter. The fruits dry very well on the trees. However, they do not grow well in Florida. Z. mauritiana is also grown in only some parts of California. They are not as hardy and they are the species grown throughout Florida as they handle the humidity there better. Fruits don't dry at all but spoil on the trees. Z. jujuba leaves are a solid color top and bottom. Z. mauritiana has a darker green on the top side of the leaves, the underside is this lighter green grayish color.
Love that intro music..in Jamaica we have that tree with thorns and we call them "coolie plum"

I have a honeyjar jujube tree and they are also referred to as chinese dates. Mine flowers in the spring in Arizona.
yes I love them
Is your Honey Jar producing yet?…I bought a Sugar Cane but it’s only about 2 ft tall

I have 35 baby mango trees. I grew from seeds in May now they are all about a foot tall.

I like your content thank you sir keep it up
Thank you
I have a big tree of JuJube and now ready to harvest here in Los Angeles
Nice I love the dried California jejube also known as chinese dates
Paul, what kind of star fruit tree? A lot of fruit and I must grow it. Thanks for sharing.
it's a Cari Variety
Hi Paul, love your videos. Question: if I live in Boca where do you recommend I buy a Jujube tree from? Excalibur only has the Indian variety, and I believe your recommendation is for the Thai Jujube?
There is only one variety that grows well in south fl, the Thornless Thai. It actually has small thorns
@@FruitfulTrees thanks, do you know if the Thornless Thai is this the one they have at all the nurseries like Excalibur? Because at Excalibur they call it an Indian jujube...
You can make a drink from the dried jujubes as well as desserts. The drink pairs well with ginger.
The south florida Jujubes go bad when they dry out. The California grown ones taste great when you dry them
In Australia you are looking at paying between $130 and $150 per tree. Hopefully, in the next couple of years we will get more suppliers and the price will become more affordable.
you can get them here in Florida for as low as $30.00

Do you have a video on star fruit tree I would like to grow it
Yes I do just a few videos ago
have you tried planting Anna apple? apparently it does well in warmer climate.
no I haven't
Anna apples taste terrible, best not to encourage growing things that suffer here, same as not promoting coconut palms to people in Ohio
this is Indian jujube species right?
it is a thornless thai variety here in south Florida
Hi i know it as Dongs.
I would love a plant please or a cutting if you have for sale 😊
After the season I cut them back. where are you located
@@FruitfulTrees I'm I'm ocala

Good day, Paul, I have a question concerning the Jujube tree. Do you need more than one Jujube tree in order to get fruit?
No I don't think so
@@FruitfulTrees Thank you, Paul. I have one it's flowering and being pollinated so I'm hoping to get some fruit.
