Introducing the Li Jujube, a gem from the far East, now available for your home garden. This tree, often referred to as the “Chinese date,” is renowned for its round, larger-than-average fruits that ripen to a beautiful reddish-brown hue.
When ripe, the fruits offer a unique culinary experience. The white flesh, initially dry and sweet, transforms into a chewy delight reminiscent of a date as it matures on the tree or during room temperature storage. The wrinkled skin and sweet, date-like flavor make it a favorite among fruit enthusiasts.
The Li Jujube tree is not just about the fruits. It’s an attractive addition to any garden, with its hardy and drought-resistant nature. It’s virtually immune to pests and diseases, making it an easy-to-grow choice for both novice and experienced gardeners.
This tree thrives in long, hot summers and is widely adaptable, although it performs best in USDA Zones 5-10. It has a very low chilling requirement of less than 300 hours, making it suitable for warmer climates. Plus, it’s self-fruitful, so you don’t need a second tree for pollination, but another variety will increase yield.
The Li Jujube tree has a rich history, originating in China and brought to the United States by the Department of Agriculture in 1914. Now, you can own a piece of this history and enjoy its bountiful harvest. Add the Li Jujube to your garden and savor the taste of the East right at home.
