This tree is a beast. Here in Iraq it grows wildly and don’t require any care at all. We have one in our home it’s been there since I was born. Every year we get loads of fruits from it, people here especially kids absolutely love it’s fruit. it’s overall a beautiful,strong tree 🌳💚
The community orchard I used to volunteer at had several of these trees. They quickly became one of my favorite fruits, partially because of the taste but also because they gave us the least amount of issues at the orchard.
Jujubes are great, especially for the tough growing environment here in North Texas. The 'Coco' variety is my favorite, it has a complex flavor vs. some of the ones that are just sweet.
@@Urme4774 summers get into the 100s and stay there for extended periods of time. Winters will get down to single digits with hard freezes (sometimes very thick sheets of ice). Add hard clay soil to that and it can be tough to grow here.
My friend gave me a young tree ( bare root, one and half feet long) it beared one fruit the first year, the year after I got three fruit. Now it has been 12 years. Last year I harvested more than 40 pounds. It is just fantastic.
Be careful with the thorny types. I have a large 20ft tree (North Texas) that sends out suckers on a large radius. They will infiltrate your flower and bush beds and are really hard to control. The thorns really hurt even on the young shoots so clearing them is chore. Birds also love the fruits and even though there's a 50% chance to start a new tree, with 100's of fruits, your neighbors will have JuJubes trees in no time once the birds start traveling with their snacks.
We planted a loquat next to our fence. We had to chop it down for a roof repair. It grew back twice as tall and completely forested my neighbor’s yard with about 10 additional loquat trees. With fruits like loquat and jujube they sometimes become a neighborhood issue. And don’t even get me started on the 6 pack of Mexican Evening Primrose I bought in the 1980s, that is a real neighborhood issue!!
@PogChamp I’ve got 2. 😂 I planted them way way way in the back of the yard in the section where we leave ‘wild’ for the animals to have, there are all kinds of vines and brambles and thorny things there anyway. Hubby mows in front of that so any suckers that pop out will be decapitated once a week like clockwork 😉
So awesome that you have added members to the channel with such diverse knowledge. Chris is a very welcome addition and we are so thankful for all the help and guidance you three have brought us. Thanks again i hope you all have an amazing growing season and i look forward to the many more videos to come. Much love!
Chris was mentioning about replanting suckers from the base of the jujube trees, however since most are grafted onto root stock, you would be growing whatever that root stock is, this is fine if you are to then take cuttings from the main tree for grafting on to that root stock. Just thought it was worth mentioning 🤔
I didn’t learn of this in person until I moved to California. I’m in SoCal and it’s been a dry spot for quite a while now. There’s a house I pass almost every day that has multiple different fruit trees and this one always interested me. I asked the kind old man who was outside what they were and he insisted on giving me like 20 of them!! I’ve learned that they grow easily in dry climates so now I see why he was happy to give so many away! I am soooo excited to try them in all forms.
I'm intrigued... I've never heard of jujubes before but if they can grow in Chris's climate then they'll do great on the Isle of Man. 'Coco' sounds delicious!
Hi Tanya I have the Jujubes Li and Lang growing in West London UK, no fruit as yet but have had flowers, so I think over next few years they should. You will have no problem growing them on the Isle of Man.
Chris has so much good information! Their videos are always informative -- but the vibe of all talk without much visual tour of the garden is very different from historical content on Epic Gardener. I might watch Chris's individual channel, but when I tune into Epic Gardener, I'm looking for the Epic Gardener. I'm hopeful these special guest star videos are a limited series, and we return to the regular channel soon. Thanks for receiving feedback!
YESSSS! Nice to see those trees survived the pot-up, Kevin! Jujubes (neck and neck with Citrus) are easily the most beginner friendly tree, IMO. So adaptable, so pest resistant, so drought tolerant, and so easy to grow in a bunch of USDA zones.
Thankfully my Li & Lang have no thorns, but their suckers are a whole other story! Love my jujube❤ I live in zone 6b/7, clay soil.They're about 20 yrs old, don't need to spray for bugs either.
A complete masterclass on Jujube. Just yesterday wanted to order a Jujube plant and was hesitant as I didn’t know much about it. Thank you so much. Definitely getting one for my garden.
Well Chris, I wasn't considering it because I've never even heard of it! But I am now! All these nursery owners tomorrow scratching their heads saying I don't know why but I've had 10 people today asking if we had Jujube trees 😂
I'm surprised I don't see more of these. I have one in Virginia that is doing great. It seems invincible to pests and diseases. I've never watered it after it was a month old. It looks great and draws a lot of interest from people walking by. It draws the "Four Toothed Mason Wasp" in like crazy.
Love having episodes from Chris, they always cover such interesting topics! Thanks for bringing us such cool info Kevin! Looking forward to seeing how your Jujubes do here in San Diego!
Just enjoyed some tea today made with a variety of homegrown fruits and herbs including jujube from our orchard. The mistake I made for years was fertilizing and watering our jujube which basically led to no fruit for many seasons. I found that you need to ignore them, abuse them, and they will stress and provide plentiful fruit after that.
Great video - I especially liked the pruning part, because I did not know. I had one jujube tree on my land when I bought it, but it is incredibly prolific. I give it nothing except some water no and again. I also self seeds like crazy - and every year I need to dig up 20-30 little tress around it. So - it seem like germination from seed, (or fallen fruit) is not a problem. So I was surpriced to learn that they are hard to start from seeds..... I do not know what cultivar I have though - but the mother tree must be at least 25 feet tall. I have planted some of them as a hedge row, and just pruned the top off to keep the low - seesm to work well. The "hedge" started producing fruit the year after I transplanted them.
I've been considering growing ''exotic' fruits to sell by the highway. I live right along it, and have a fairly decent sized plot to work with! Jujubes seem like a great plant to raise! I'm especially curious about how to dry them now, as it's be a great way to enjoy them all year!
I have GA something something and I totally forget the second variety 😂 mine are just leafing out in zone 9a. They lived a year in containers and planted them early spring. One is quite mature probably a 4 year tree this year the other is considerably smaller. My more mature tree did flower a little last year but did not produce .
Kabocha and Delicata. In stores right now. The seeds germinate and grow very easily. Every time I eat them, the seeds go back to the yard. And every year, I get vines that produce more fruit. These pumpkin-like squash are extremely sweet, with edible skins. I cut them in half, scoop out the seeds, and steam them for about 20 minutes until it's soft.
Tuli, I had a hybrid jujubee tree. The hybrid part died with a freak winter storm that killed the grafted part. The native stock took over and the tree seems to be doing well. I believe this is the same plant. I only had one tree. I hope to buy a second tree. Our tree is about 8 to 10 foot tall. Thank you for sharing a very awesome video. Great work! Stay well and be blessed...
As a kid growing up in the early 60's, a box of jujube candy was my favorite companion to double-feature movie palaces of the era because they lasted soooo long! As for taste, I always thought they tasted kinda like "perfume", but I was OK with that, LOL.
In india we will cut the main steam living 2-3 feet once the tree is established. It will fruit in the winter January-March and then we will cut the main steam. It will show vigorous growth again and it will be as large as earlier before the fruiting time. We we can have another crop between the jujube lines.
Nice to see this fruit on the show, we grow something here in The Bahamas 🇧🇸 that we call Juju , it does look like tiny apples but it doesn't have the brown unless it's overripe and it's really small
they are pretty widespread here in italy, we even have a proverb "andare in brodo di giuggiole" ("to drop in jujubes broth") to say that someone is extremely happy. jujubes broth is a liqueur
You know I was excited when I first learned of the name 'jujube' and that it’s also called chinese dates. So I went searching for info about it and it turns out this fruit is just our local 'kul' :')
Thank you so much for this!! I have 2 jujube trees and I got them as ‘newborns’ lol. Tiny whips, and it took 5 years for 1 of them to fruit. I only got 2 fruits. I haven’t found much information on how long it takes to set fruit but hoping this year is the golden year ;). Im in the south Okanagan bc :) hot summers and cold winters. Low precipitation all year.
They are available at my local farmers market, but I have learned the hard way I need to stay away from them. Seems like no matter how many I buy, I eat them like a hog until they are gone. Kinda like the Doritos of fruit ;-)
Planted my first jujube this past winter and it's finally starting to bud out. Long ways off from getting fruit but I'm excited about for the future. May get a companion jujube to increase yield potential.
I have a 50 foot jujube tree in my backyard that’s been there for at least 30 years. I thought it was an olive tree until 5 years ago lol. We’re planning on making jelly with them this year.
Thank you Chris for explaining so detail. This is the best video on youtube. My only concern is -how do you control the tree roots from spreading into your home underground surface. It already damage my concrete driveway as it matures. Do you think I should keep prune them limb short, more than half way to keep the roots from spreading? Bc I've notice the more you prune them, the more they grow invasive. It is better to control them while they are still young. I call itvthe vampire tree, crazy thorn hurt like bees stung. I had grown my tree from seeds 6 years ago. Producing tons of fruits with beautiful glossy cantepe umbrella shape with lots of shades. My neighbor love it. But I'm worry it might damage their concrete. I need help!!!!!!.
Thank you - that did help a lot although I just two days ago gave our Li & Lang more compost & some (not a lot) fruit tree fertilizer along with lots of straw mulch (we are in SW Arizona so mulching is necessary). Li always wakens before Lang but Lang is sprouting leaves now. I do need to cut off only one branch on both trees (those branches are growing OUT too far over our garden area so it is difficult to get by without getting attacked by the thorns). Li and Lang are about seven feet tall and doing well. Do you think those branches that I cut can propagate into new trees? Judi
That was very informative. We had jujube lollies in the 60's but I never knew there was a Jujube tree until recently. It was great to see one on screen and see their interesting zig zag pattern. I would like to know how you use their fruit? Can you use them like a dried date in biscuit or scone making? Perhaps you could address this in some future video? Thank you. This well done and I did really like the grow house, too. Blessings to you.
Thank you Chris and Kevin, always wondered about planting a Jujube tree, I might consider it now since I have great growing conditions for it here in Central Florida zone 9b, can you recommend any good places to pick up a plant online.
I got a question: aren’t the suckers growing around the grafted jujube tree the ones of original cultivar (inferior to the grafted) and not the same as the good cultivar of the 9:04 grafted ?
I ended up with a shanxi li jujube in a trade. I had never heard of them before and I am amazed at how fast it has grown! Hoping to get some fruit off it this year!
My Indian jujubectree are grown from seeds. It produce fruits in 2 years, grew fast up to 8 ft tall bc I apply julency fertilizer help tree grow faster, fruits early, green healthy foli and strong healthy roots structure.
New to gardening! We just bought our first farm and we have an orchard and this would be such an awesome addition! We are in zone 5A so sounds like we need to keep it comfortable.. question for you..as a new gardener in zone 5A will it survive cold winters or is it a little on the sensitive side??
This is the PERFECT video!! My in-laws gave us a Jujube tree that I stabbed myself on already. I was trying to figure out everything about it. Sadly the only thing I can't figure out is what type it is.
SO excited for our Jujube crop this year...what trees should we cover next?
Mesquite trees 1 or more of the 13 edible kinds.
Unless you mean kinds you got then plant some Mesquite there delicious expect the cotton one lol 😆.
Star apple 😊
Would love to see Persimmons or Figs!
I dunno. Something weird, maybe even something epic. 🧐
Edit: start fruit? I’d call star fruit pretty epic.

@PogChamp I've only ever seen them in Asian grocery produce sections in Arizona. In that semi dried form. They were just ok for my taste.

These are one of my favorite fruits. I don't care for them when they're dried though
Funny - that's how I love them personally! - Kevin

Thanks for this.
Thank you very interesting ,does the plant tolerate wind ?

New to gardening! We just bought our first farm and we have an orchard and this would be such an awesome addition! We are in zone 5A so sounds like we need to keep it comfortable.. question for you..as a new gardener in zone 5A will it survive cold winters or is it a little on the sensitive side??
This is the PERFECT video!! My in-laws gave us a Jujube tree that I stabbed myself on already. I was trying to figure out everything about it. Sadly the only thing I can't figure out is what type it is.
