kert starts with ... After a long gestation period (8 years) two grafted ,different jujubes have fruited . Their names are lost (by the nursery that sold it to me) but to all of you lusting after jujubes ,lust no more. I harvested them brown and wrinkled and they are vaguely sweet and a little crunchy; no more, no less. As someone once explained "Some fruits are meant to be rare" | About the Author sydney 27th March 2009 9:48am #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Jantina says... My experience is different kert, we bought some dried jujubes from Perrys Fuit and Nut nursery and they were sweet and delicious,tasting similar to a date. Is it possible that yours are the indian jujube which is inferior to the chinese? My jujube is 3 years old, about two and a half metres high and has fruit on it. It's true the seed is sharp (much like a date pip) and should not be given to children. | About the Author Jantina Mt.

Julie says... Jantina, I had the same experience - sweet-tasting jujubes. But when I read the packet I found they had added sugar!Probably candied, as kert says. No wonder they were so nice. I tried to buy seed, but the company (can't remember who) won't send jujube seed to WA. The ones in the Asian grocery had their seeds removed. I think they may be one of those 'forbidden fruits' in WA. | About the Author 31st March 2009 8:43pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Adam says... Sorry to hear that the fruit washed out. I have a Chico tree that is fruiting well, however I eat the fruit fresh, not dried. Flavour is like a tart apple with a rich caramel overlay. I got interested in the trees after eating the fresh fruit in southern Spain. No all dried jujubes are candied (although many are) and there seems to be a huge amount of variation in the quality of fruit for eating fresh or drying. The best variety in this country appears to be "Li", which produced 2 inch fruit.

Pauline says... The only ones I have eaten jave been straight off the tree. Before they get wrinkled they taste a bit like a pear to me, I was not keen, but when they do wrinkly and dry they are very simluar to a date, yum.

abyssquick says... I have a new cultivar vcalled "Thai Giant" it's an Indian type -very sweet, crispy large fruit on small prolific trees, also thornless. They grow in a fountain-like cascading of branches from the middle. Highly recommend. The Chinese jujubes are good, too but not as good as many of the Indian cultivars in my opinion. I have grown both, and in the tropics Indian for me is the way to go. | About the Author abyssquick FL, USA 8th April 2009 1:24am #UserID: 2105 Posts: 2 View All abyssquick's Edible Fruit Trees |

Anita says... Hello ! I had traveled to India years back and had eaten a variety of jujube that was very small (size of pistachio), deep red in color (like a plum) and the flavor was a combination of sweet/tart. It was such a yummy little fruit!! The locals were calling it "Chani Bor" ! I am in search for botanical name for this particular plant and hopefully purchase a plant. Can someone please provide me more information about this little jujube fruit ???

JUJUBE FOR SALE IN MELBOURNE says... Hi Amanda, The JUJUBE (RED CHINESE DATE) GRAFTED AND BARE ROOTED TREES FOR SALE in Melbourne is Ziziphus jujuba of Chinese variety. They are very sweet and rare species. their fruits are prized. The one that is a weed that invades QLD, WA is the Indian Jujube or Chinee apple (Ziziphus mauritiana). They look very similar but the taste is different.The weed one is not nice at all (small,very tangy, acidic, big seed too). no one is allowed to even remove the fruit or trees out of it location let alone selling it. Heavy penalty applies. Anyway, those weeds are too tropical to survive in Melbourne | About the Author JUJUBE FOR SALE Melbourne 1st July 2009 9:42am #UserID: 2706 Posts: 715 View All JUJUBE FOR SALE's Edible Fruit Trees |

JUJUBE FOR SALE IN MELBOURNE says... Hi Rich, You only need one tree, they have very litle thorns or spines. You don't need to prune, it does prune itself. Mine are 8 years old and I have never pruned them. As the growing season commences, each node of a woody branch produces one to ten fruiting branchlets. Most of these are deciduous, falling from the plant in autumn. BTW, They are fairly dwarfing in habit. I hope this helps. | About the Author JUJUBE FOR SALE Melbourne 10th August 2009 9:51pm #UserID: 2706 Posts: 715 View All JUJUBE FOR SALE's Edible Fruit Trees |

JUJUBE FOR SALE IN MELBOURNE says... Hi Rich, They do fruit well in melbourne, WA, SA for sure. I think They fruit well in NSW too as long as not tropical like Cairns and Far north where Indian one is more suitable because the fruiting season is also moonsoon season so fruits can be hard to ripe or split. Mine are 8 year old and I have had only one small sucker so far and very weak litle one. | About the Author JUJUBE FOR SALE Melbourne 11th August 2009 8:22am #UserID: 2706 Posts: 715 View All JUJUBE FOR SALE's Edible Fruit Trees |

JUJUBE FOR SALE IN MELBOURNE says... Hi Ellen, Some trees producing baby plants (called suckers) on the ground surrounding the trunk or canopy of the tree. Very common on plum or persimon trees. They are born from the roots under neath the ground. Normally, you just remove them because they are below the grafted point so if they ever produce fruit, those fruits are no good (little fresh and big stone). The only way suckers are useful is to use as root stock and graft a named variety to it (it takes 4 years for the whole process & only 15% successful rate, that is why they are not cheap and rare to find because I guess not many nurseries are willing or bother to do it). Yours was done that way. However, there is a catch that unless it is a very strong sucker there is no point in grafting to a weak sucker because it is going to produce a tree that not doing or fruit well. I have never had sucker problem BTW. Here is the picture I took two year ago at Spring time. BTW, Dr Glowinski said in his book that jujube/Chinese date should fruit well in Canberra too. Jujube tree is the one in the big pot which has young budding shoots

JUJUBE FOR SALE IN MELBOURNE says... Hi Ellen, They are fairly dwarfing in habit in some ways and the picture was taken 2 years ago. It has grown a bit bigger now. I would say it would be 2.5 or 3 meters depending on what you give to the tree i.e dynamic lifter. Since mine is in the pot so I prefer that size, much easy to pick fruits. And also mine started to have lots of fruits in the first year (I did not remove any fruits) so all energy diverted to fruits, not growing. BTW, I did cut the top of the tree about 2 years ago to try to multiply more trees using cutting hormone for my siblings because I could not buy any but it did not work. I gave up and decided to search for suppliers to buy jujube trees instead. | About the Author JUJUBE FOR SALE Melbourne 11th August 2009 3:09pm #UserID: 2706 Posts: 715 View All JUJUBE FOR SALE's Edible Fruit Trees |

JUJUBE FOR SALE IN MELBOURNE says... Hi Juanita, Wow, Very productive jujube tree for a small pot just like the chang variety. I have never covered mine with net against birds, it is all depending to the area you live in. Have you had any problem with birds eating your fruits? My area has lots of parrots when fruits in season but no problem with this fruits so far. Regarding to the LI variety the chance of getting very big fruit just like a blood plum is very high. Some of them can be as big as a lime if the tree is growing in ideal condition. Regading to picking fruits. For LI fruits you can pick them up as white yellow stage or half side of the fruit has turned brown red colour. With the rest of the varieties, they should be picked as fully brown red stage. Anyway, the best time to pick them is in the morning before 10 am where they are juicer. You can eat them out of hand or let them dry on the tree and either making tea with it or cook in recipes using jujube dried fruits in stead of dried sultana The good thing is they don't dry at the same time so it is a good treat to pick some every time you go to the garden. Happy growing. | About the Author JUJUBE FOR SALE Melbourne 12th January 2010 8:18am #UserID: 2706 Posts: 715 View All JUJUBE FOR SALE's Edible Fruit Trees |

JUJUBE FOR SALE IN MELBOURNE says... Hi Juanita, Your Li jujube variety is an early variety but the fruits won't be ready until March,they are still getting bigger. They will slowly turn into brown red colour. You can pick them up as white yellow stage or the best flavour when half side of the fruit has turned brown red colour. The rest of varieties like Chico, suimen, the fruits should be picked when the whole fruit ( or at least 80%) has just turned brown red colour. | About the Author JUJUBE FOR SALE Melbourne 3rd February 2010 8:26pm #UserID: 2706 Posts: 715 View All JUJUBE FOR SALE's Edible Fruit Trees |

Michael says... Hi Nguyet - My jujube plant is growing very fast and is now 1.5 metres tall. It's roots are poking out of the drainage holes in my 55 cm pot . From these roots new plants are starting to grow . Can I just cut these roots off with the new plants growing and repot it to amke a another tree? | About the Author Michael Wakeley 2nd March 2010 7:59pm #UserID: 1746 Posts: 178 View All Michael's Edible Fruit Trees |

JUJUBE FOR SALE IN MELBOURNE says... Hi Michael, Wow! I am glad to hear your Jujube tree is doing exceptionally well. From my memory, it was about 50 cm when I sent to you in August. Well done. I need to know how tall, big are the new plants (suckers) etc a picture would be nice. Normally, suckers (if any) are removed from the ground near the mother tree as long as they are not too close to the parent’s trunk. The most suitable age for separating is 2 years old for the suckers and the mother is well established at least 5 years old. In your case, it is a bit difficult to do so due to the small drainage holes . However, what you could do is to sacrifice the pot and makes the drainage hole bigger and bigger as the suckers grow and re-pot the whole lot by cutting up the pot so the suckers won’t get damage. It should be done in winter where they go dormant. Alternatively, you could do it this winter, the suckers will be small but please make sure to be able to survive the suckers must have some roots and the mother must have some good roots too. It is a bit of a risky because your jujube tree has been in pot for only less than 6 months so I am not sure if the original tree has enough roots to share. Now if the operation is successful (20% chances) , you will have some jujube trees but they are seedlings so it may take forever to produce fruits and very small fruits (if any) and very little flesh. To solve this problem, wait for your suckers settle down (another year). You then either to graft a name variety like your Li bud (must be in the grafted branches) yourself or ask an expert in grafting to do it for you. It normally costs between $10 to $20 per bud. Good luck. | About the Author JUJUBE FOR SALE Melbourne 2nd March 2010 9:01pm #UserID: 2706 Posts: 715 View All JUJUBE FOR SALE's Edible Fruit Trees |

Jujube trees need to go dormant over the winter. They require about 200-400 hours during the winter that the temperature falls below 8° c.

speedy says... Jujubes grow in Brisbane , in fact the first jujube tree I had was from a tree that was propagated from a tree that was growing near a railway station somwhere around Bris. I got it from a friend (Rick Deering -now deceased) from Beenleigh, Qld. and he used to refered to it by the name of the railway station. I lost the tree years ago, but can't remember what the name of it was now or if the original tree is still there. The trees on Rick's amazing farm were razed to the ground by the developers who bought the land soon after his passing. Sad to see the work of so many years of collecting rare fruit trees destroyed like that. some were relocated, but most went under the dozer. So, if anyone has a Jujube tree that they got from Rick , I'd like to hear from you please, and possibly get some propagating material | About the Author Nth Vic. 26th March 2010 2:58pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Violet_Cactus says... From the Internet: "The main jujube is called Ziziphus jujube, but other members of the same tribe – Z. ziziphus and Z. spina-christi – all find medicinal use. The Arabs, who use the fruit of all three trees to ensure health, feel that the leaves of the plant kill parasites and worms in the intestinal tract which cause diarrhea. The fruits are said to cure coughs, resolve any other lung complaints, soothe the internal organs, and, last but not least, reduce water retention." "In Haiti, twelve fruits or a handful of leaves and roots are boiled in several cups of water to make a tea taken as an antidote to poison. ... the modern world is filled with poison, most of which we take into our bodies without any coaxing, and the jujube may be the corrective we need." "Jujube pits, when aged for three years, are considered excellent for wounds and abdominal pain.

allybanana says... Actually Kert is not far off the mark in view of the ailments listed above, that the Arabs used Ziziphus medicine to treat. In recent European history (150 years), diarrhoea was thought to be caused by demons, bloodletting by a prist was used to release them (rather draining on an already dehydrated patient). I wonder if the association of sulphur smell and the devil could have some origin in those hideous burps one does when there is a explosive demon gurgling in the belly. Given the wide application of use for biological infection listed by v. cactus, it appears likely that Ziziphus leaves carry some toxic compound/s that are harmful to a broad spectrum of parasites. Which in turn, presents the possibility of toxicity to humans at high enough dosage. I have been told this is the case with wormwood, another plant used for worming, purported to cause liver damage at an elevated dosage. Assuming dosage is important for Ziziphus leaves, any info on dosage would be valuable if one wants to use it as medicine. I would love to hear more about it if someone has any info. Maybe a rough dosage could be calculated by counting the number of leaves used, for instance “ten”. | About the Author EDEN 14th August 2010 11:51pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

BJ says... There are hundreds of Jujube cultivars. Some more spiny than others. I have Li and Tiajian. I think both have tiny spines. I pulled out a bit of info from a Sub-tropical fruit club newsletter that happened to be sitting next to me here: 'Young plants are generally spiny...As trees age they tend to produce fewer spines, and any spines that are produced are shorter and thinner and are apt to shrivel and fall. A few cultivars appear to be spineless, but this is because their spines are shorter, thinner, softer and drop early.' | About the Author Theposterformerlyknownas Brisbane 2nd December 2010 11:23pm #UserID: 3270 Posts: 1552 View All Theposterformerlyknownas's Edible Fruit Trees |

fruitist says... I have a cultivar which I named "Deering" after the late Rick Deering who created this hybrid. It has short but shape thorns. Rick had about 20 cultivars when he passed away. Has anyone successfully struck a cutting or marcotting? If grafting, which is the best technique and any timing tips? I need to preserve this cultivar as I believe it is one of few left of this hybrid. | About the Author 3rd December 2010 7:39am #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

John Mc says... I removed a very young green shoot from the rootstock (no heal) and planted it just for the hell of it. Blow me down it has a very strong white root comming out of the bottom of the tubestock. I'm tempted to have a closer look just to see if the shoot is in fact comming from the tender cutting, or something else has germinated in the pot.

speedy says... @ frutist. If it's the cv. I think you have, Rick used to refer to it by the name of a suburb in Brisbane where the original tree was from, actually near a railway station, but I forget the name of it. It was the one a few mwtres west of the shadehouse next to his house. Rick would often grow it via marcotting. I bought one from him many years ago and planted it at my brothers place but the pigs got out and demolished it. :-( It was really sad to see his whole collection deteriorate during his final days, and then the susequent destruction of it by 'developers' as it was bulldozed. I would really like a plant of this cultivar if you do get some going, even if for sentimental reasons. scion wood would be ok. If it is a different clone , but from Rick, I'd still be interested anyway. Please let me know if you can help. thanks, speedy | About the Author Nth Vic. 7th December 2010 8:59am #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Jantina says... Hi fruitist, you must have got me mixed up with someone else as I don't have any pictures up on the forum. I have Chico (small thorns) and Suimen (no thorns yet) growing. We have dug up suckers and got them growing in pots with a view to grafting later. The fruit on my Chico was not very big (about the size of a strawberry) a bit disappointing but as it was it's first real fruiting maybe they'll be bigger this year. The Suimen is just a small plant in a pot but has flowers so I may get fruit. Good tip about the marcotting speedy, will give that a go. | About the Author Jantina Mt.

fruitist says... Speedy, I visited Rick Deering during his final months. He showed me a few of his Jujube trees. Most were close to the back door of his house. I will see how to propagate the tree I have. I might try some cuttings as I have a fair bit of successes with other difficult trees. I see that you live in Victoria, I will be go to Victoria a few times a year so I may bring some if I do have successes with the propagation. I tried germinating some seeds before but none germinated and some seeds were sent overseas but I doubt they germinate even with scarification. I quite like the fruits now as they are bigger now with the bigger tree. About a ping pong size and quite sweet unlike those big ones I ate in China which are bland in taste. | About the Author 7th December 2010 9:53pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

speedy says... @fruitist Thanks, and good luck with it. If you are successful and you do get over here on one of your trips to Victoria at some stage, I have many things you may be interested in as a trade for the jujube plant(s). To germinate jujube seeds, I use a pair of secateurs to cut along the longditudinal seam that divides the two seed locules. A bit tricky and needing concentration so as not to chop your fingers. Often there is one seed and one empty locule. some cultivars have no viable seed especially if there are no other trees to out cross with. The naked seeds germinate fairly quickly after sowing especially if stratified or treated with GA3. | About the Author Nth Vic 8th December 2010 10:54pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

fruitist says... Speedy, thanks for the good info. Whate is your succes rate in germinating naked seeds? Did you mean to say you treat naked seed and not the whole seed with GA? I am interested in obtaining GA, where can I buy the stuff. Is it in powder form? Many years ago, I tried GA on Annona seeds with mixed success. My Sydney source of GA has gone overseas. When I have the Jujube seeds which will be around next June, I will send them to you. At one stage, I have about 320 different species of fruit trees growing in the ground and pots and planter bags. I have never grown a Babaco and rare Carica species. Do you have some? I have a few rare Caricas and a few years back I gave away many many seedlings to Daleys here.

speedy says... I used GA3 at 500ppm and soaked seed overnight. the germination rate was high (couldn't give figures) but just as importantly, they mostly germinated around the same time rather than sporadically over a long period. I dont know if they'd germinate just as well without the GA3, maybe just getting them out of the shell is enough. I dont have any Carica spp. ( apart from a sad little babaco), but I have grown a few in the past. Maybe I could find some for you.

JUJUBE FOR SALE IN MELBOURNE says... Hi Miranda, Luckily, we don't have fruit fly in Melbourne, I have a customer in NSW who has this problem. Jujube fruits can be attacked by fruit flies ONLY IF you live in an infested area . The best way to protect fruits is to bag them because fruit flies may attack thin skin fruits. I have seen fruit fly maggots in star fruit, sapodilla, dragon fruit, custard apples, pomelos and veggies like lufa, capsicums, tomato and even hot chilies are on the list too. | About the Author JUJUBE FOR SALE 13th April 2013 9:05am #UserID: 2706 Posts: 715 View All JUJUBE FOR SALE's Edible Fruit Trees |

JUJUBE FOR SALE IN MELBOURNE says... Hi Amanda, If you can't get a grafted tree then have a go at a seedling/sucker. As long as the root stock from a sweet variety not a sour type (can be a medicine I was told). I tested one of my trees by letting the sucker grew and eventually got fruits. Due to sharing the same root as it parent it grew really fast and strong. I got lots of very sweet fruits about the size of a smallest olive with small seed but very sweet like the mother. Unfortunately, the mother did not grow and fruit well so I had no choice but to kill it. You never know that in term of generic nature, some of seedlings may look like the mother or father and luck may come to you that way. Good luck. | About the Author JUJUBE FOR SALE 13th April 2013 11:35am #UserID: 2706 Posts: 715 View All JUJUBE FOR SALE's Edible Fruit Trees |

I found a description of honey jar from the US: "Unique small but very delicious sweet, crunchy and juicy fruit has very thin skin and is considered one of the best for fresh eating. Makes a good dried fruit too.. Considered the earliest ripening jujube it is one of the best choices for cooler coastal or northern climates. Also does fine in hot southern climates where it can ripen as early as July". (January here).

JohnMc1 says... Some are best eaten fresh, other cv's are best left to dry on the tree like a date, hence the name. The large round Li variety is similar to a small sweet apple, without the acid. When dried, the sugar is concentrated making it more sweeter.

Fay says... Hey John, the first time I tasted a jujube was when I found a plant growing wild on a footpath outside a guy's place that grew hundreds of Australian native fruits. I think he planted it on the footpath because it wasn't Australian. Anyway, it was absolutely loaded with fruit. The plant was only about three feet tall and round. I picked some of the green fruit and took it home. They tasted sweet and juicy like apples. However.....I must have dropped a jujube on the seat of my husband's work ute because a few weeks later I found a flattened, dark brown dried fruit. I think my husband sat on it. I picked it up and inspected it. Hmmmm what's a little bum squashing between husbands and wives, I thought and took a nibble. Oh bliss!! It was like a juicy date. I dug up a few suckers before the dozers flattened everything the old guy had grown over fifty years. Then I placed an order with Jujubes for sale in Melbourne and I'm so excited that I should be getting them in a couple of months. I don't know what the variety is of the one I dug up. | About the Author Fay Toowoomba 27th April 2015 10:15am #UserID: 11498 Posts: 84 View All Fay's Edible Fruit Trees |

Linton says... I believe that the Indian Jujube - Chinee Apple - is classified as an invasive weed in Queensland so that might be an issue for people interested in growing it there. I am growing a Chinee Apple, which was sent to me by mistake, down here in Melbourne but find it is very difficult to get going and does not seem very hardy. After 2 years it has hardly grown at all. Can you tell me how to make it grow. Thanks.

Linton says... Hello how you going. I don't grow the standard Jujubes any more as I think my conditions were not suitable for them to produce any fruit. I have dry sand that is water repellant so even after rain or watering it remains dry. So the problem wouldn't be due to overwatering but more likely due to them being too dry. I still have the Indian Jujube in a pot that continues to grow slowly and although it is not often watered it might get a little too much for its liking. Cheers! | About the Author Linton NOBLE PARK,3174,VIC 5th March 2020 2:54pm #UserID: 2286 Posts: 994 View All Linton's Edible Fruit Trees |

TareqMelb1 says... Something I also do to over come the issue of sandy soil, I dig penty of cow manure in the planting hole before I plant a tree for the first time. Usually by the time the manure is gone, the tree is established and can tolerate the sandy soil. Also some mulch and top dressing of manure does help afterwards. | About the Author TareqMelb1 CHELTENHAM,3192,VIC 24th November 2020 9:12pm #UserID: 21640 Posts: 25 View All TareqMelb1's Edible Fruit Trees |

Avo L134 says... You really need to elaborate more on "all the fruits it produces are not edible". Are the fruit too small, taste like cardboard/spongy etc. Without more information, forum members can't really assist with your issue. From your picture, it looked like the fruit has shrivel up or possible fruit fly attacked. Jujube plant, like all fruit plant still require adequate watering, especially when they have fruit. Fruit flies is a huge problem on the eastern states of Australia. Affected fruit will fall off the tree a lot sooner before it get a chance to ripen. | About the Author Avo L134 WEST WOLLONGONG,2500,NSW 13th January 2022 11:57am #UserID: 24550 Posts: 56 View All Avo L134's Edible Fruit Trees |
