Fruitylicious1 says... Hi Audrey Personally I like Li among the 4 jujube varieties that I have tasted (Li, Shui Men, Chico and pear) it was the biggest, meatiest and sweetest among the 4. Tasted like an apple but sweeter with less juiciness. The dried fruit tasted like normal palm date but have a milder sweetness not the overpowering caramel like sweetness of the dried mejool date. Again I suggest that buy some in jujube Australia or in an Asian grocery store for you to judge the flavor for your self and for your kids. So if you can only afford to plant a single jujube tree go for the Li cv you can't go wrong with it, and yes it's self pollinating.

Fruitylicious1 says... Hi Audrey While waiting for your jujube trees to arrive learn as much as you can about their culture. Familiarize yourself with it including trouble shooting. Some people just put them in the ground without educating themselves about fruit tree growing and expect the tree to flourish and survive. It's a long term investment and I advice you to do your due diligence to avoid disappointment in the future. As Always....Happy GARDENING :-) | About the Author Fruitylicious1 TAMWORTH,2340,NSW 13th February 2018 11:47am #UserID: 16885 Posts: 709 View All Fruitylicious1's Edible Fruit Trees |

Linton says... Hello, just wanna let you know that baag currently have Jujubes in stock so you don't need to wait for them. The varieties they have are Chico, Tarjan, Suimen and Silverhill, all about 1 metre tall. However this nursery does not post so if you're not in Melbourne you would need to arrange for someone to pick them up for you. Just an idea! | About the Author Linton NOBLE PARK,3174,VIC 5th March 2018 9:33am #UserID: 2286 Posts: 994 View All Linton's Edible Fruit Trees |

David01 says... Hi PeterL, BAAG sold out Jujube at the price $130 each. You need to wait until Jan 2019 for new stocks. But as Linton mentioned you need to pick it at Bulleen Vic3105. However you may contact: 1. Lucy via jujubeforsale@yahoo.com.au she may send it to Greenfield Park in June/July if her stocks (13-14 varieties) are still available. Usually customers need to pre-order 6 months or more in advance. 2. Vince Jujube 0405386503. He only sells Li.

Linton says... Apart from the advanced seedling trees mentioned above that are usually available from Yamina, I should also have suggested checking on gumtree from time to time. There are some available at the moment in Melbourne, they have Chico and Li, not cheap but already have fruit on them. https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/st-albans/other-home-garden/fruit-trees-tropical-fruit-trees-grafted-fruit-trees/1159452611 | About the Author Linton NOBLE PARK,3174,VIC 8th April 2018 8:31pm #UserID: 2286 Posts: 994 View All Linton's Edible Fruit Trees |

Fruitylicious1 says... Hi Jujube1 There is no reason why jujube cannot grow well in TMW. Chinese jujubes (Ziziphus jujuba) are known to tolerate up to -25F and into the mid 40C. It can also tolerate drought once established. Li is the best jujube variety. The biggest, meatiest, and sweet as well. Other well known varieties are shuimen, lang and pear. But, i suggest, if you haven't tasted the fruit yet you can buy online from 'Jujube Australia'. Buy the mixed box so you can compare the different cv's.

Fruitylicious1 says... Hi Orchid Sometimes juvenile jujube trees hibernate especially during the cooler months. My jujube tree did nothing for more than 6 months until the following spring where it grew to more than a meter, flowered heaps and fruited aplenty. My advice keep nurturing it until next season. It will be leafless soon but be patient it's just strengthening its roots first before bolting out in a blaze of glory. Pictured herein is my precious 2 years old jujube loaded with fruits.
