Jantina says... Frank my grafted jujube has suckered this year and they have flowers on them the same as the grafted part so I'm waiting to see what sort of fruit they set before I cut them off.Certainly my understanding was always that they graft jujube to jujube. I still don't know if I can get jujubes from W.A. | About the Author Jantina Mt. Gambier S.A. 16th February 2009 9:19am #UserID: 1351 Posts: 1272 View All Jantina's Edible Fruit Trees |

Frank says... Hi Jantina I wonder what would the purpose be to use the same tree for rootstock i thought that they use a stroger rootstock like for pears they use quinches and for stone fruit they use sweet almonds, and is perry`s the only supplier of the jujube fruit tree because this monththey are cloced for the whole month and i am waiting for a reply you would think that this fruit tree would be abbundant in the north of the great county of our thank you Jantina.

Adam says... Both are jujube, just different species of the same genus ((Indian)Ziziphus mauritiana, (Chinese)Ziziphus jujuba). Both most likely end up as the "red dates" you can buy in Chinese grocers. The Indian Jubube is actually found from Southern China to India, so the common names don't mean that much. In terms of gardening they have different heat tolerances, so in Southern states the Chinese jujube is a better idea. The first time I ate one was in southern Spain, where they are also grown and they are relatively common throughout the Middle East. | About the Author Adam Melbourne 17th February 2009 8:24am #UserID: 1613 Posts: 110 View All Adam's Edible Fruit Trees |

Jantina says... Hi Frank, Zizyphus jujuba is is known as the Chinese date because it is so widely grown in China. It is the jujube of choice for those with a suitable climate because the "date" is of superior quality to the rest of the family. The Chinese date does not apparently fruit well where it is wet and humid (although it grows well)ant Indian jujube is more suitable there. All my research says the jujube if grafted ,is grafted to jujube either sucker or seedling, the purpose being to get a known quality. Apricots for instance are grafted to seedling apricot trees too, using other rootstock, if compatible, on say ,citrus is to make it more suitable for certain soils or to dwarf it or make it hardier. The jujube it plenty hardy and will grow in almost any soil. Louis Glowinski says Chico , the variety I have does not sucker but that might be if it is cutting grown (apparently difficult but possible). My Chico is grafted and I don't know what variety or seedling it is grafted to. As for supply, Perrys in S.A. is the only one that I have been able to track down that have accessible stock although it can be a long wait, I have a Li on order and they told me it would be a years wait. Tass 1 in W.A. has them but he told me he does not export interstate and so far I have not been able to ascertain whether his supplier exports interstate or if in fact his supplier is over in this side of the world and in fact exports to him but I am determined to find out. It's all very frustrating.Onward ho!. | About the Author Jantina Mt. Gambier S.A. 17th February 2009 10:06am #UserID: 1351 Posts: 1272 View All Jantina's Edible Fruit Trees |

JUJUBE FOR SALE IN MELBOURNE says... Hi Chikko, Red Chinese date or Jujube trees like FULL SUN, during growing/flowering season - feeding with dynamic lifter or blood and bone every 6 weeks, a bit at the time. - potash felilizer TWICE a year (OCTOBER AND APRIL) - Richo complete mineral ONCE A YEAR and water during flowering time. Last but not least MULCH heavily. If yours does not produce well, I would wait to winter (the only time) to move to another sunny location. Please note that for a young tree, I would not worry too much about fruiting for now because bare root trees need to build more roots, therefore stronger tree and lots of fruits to follow. I would give it a chance this year because it is a bit early to tell My trees are still setting fruits at the moment. I hope this helps. | About the Author JUJUBE FOR SALE 17th January 2012 11:06am #UserID: 2706 Posts: 715 View All JUJUBE FOR SALE's Edible Fruit Trees |

JUJUBE FOR SALE IN MELBOURNE says... Hi Chico, I had a tree that did not well in semi sun and I moved to a full sun area and it is doing very well now. Please note that jujube trees should not be grown near big tree or grow anything undernearth the tree or they won't fruit well due to not enough sun or food to share. I think the first year or two. They may not fruit properly (too busy to produce more roots or branches) then they will fruit well in the third year. Here is my LI variety. It has 10 fruits in 20cm branch and still setting more fruits. One for each leaf node so it is as good as a CHANG variety. There is no secret I just follow the above steps I mentioned earlier. BTW, they don't like chemical fertilizer, I use aged chicken manure. Take care and goodluck. Lucy.

JohnMc1 says... Seedlings are the wild, vigorous, thorny plants that produce small (inedible?)fruit, unless you get lucky and discover a new cultivar, and lots of suckers that have to be managed. From what I understand, this is the only source of viable seed, the seed from known cultivars are not viable. Some sources say they are viable, I've never had one seed germinate as yet. I have two rootstock plants that are budding up now for the first time and will flower and fruit sometime in summer. I'll take some pics of the wild ripe fruit when ready. My rootstock plants have grown much larger than the grafted cv's. | About the Author JohnMc1 Warnervale NSW 27th October 2014 11:09pm #UserID: 2743 Posts: 2043 View All JohnMc1's Edible Fruit Trees |
