JUJUBES

The botanical name for jujube is Ziziphus jujuba, commonly referred to as the “Chinese date.” The fruit can be eaten fresh or dried, at which point it resembles a date in look and taste. The trees originate in Asia and are very popular there.

Jujubes are hardy in USDA Zones 6-10. They require long, warm summers to fully ripen; the trees can withstand heat and drought. Deep watering is recommended as the plants tend to send out unwanted suckers.

The tree, growing 15 to 30 feet, is prized as a landscape specimen. Its weeping form and graceful branches are covered with shiny green leaves in the summer. In winter, without its leaves, the tree presents a pleasing silhouette. The contorted jujube is particularly interesting for its unusual form. It can also be espaliered. (See our page “Espaliering – Basic Guide”). The jujube tree has few disease or insect problems; Texas root rot can be a problem in desert areas.
