A closer look at Jujube flowers

Both my Jujube trees are well into flower. Hopefully they will cross pollinate and I’ll get a good number of tasty 😋 fruit this year 🤗

I’m pretty sure sun and heat is the key to fruit set in jujube 🤞

[@joestropicals6760]

I’m quietly optimistic 😃

Cool update. I just bought some Empress Gee Jujube seeds. I am finding it difficult to find reliable sellers of named jujube varieties, any tips?

[@joestropicals6760]

Thank you 😊 Where are you located?

@@olafemio ok my friend, before this goes a seller on eBay has some large Jujube trees for sale. £85-£90 great looking specimen. I had told another fellow gardener and he bought one and is very happy with it. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255593263366?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=c6APHXfmTS2&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=FO4S5ztTTEO&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

@@joestropicals6760 Thanks for this, I will check them out. Is this the normal price for this size jujube tree?

[@joestropicals6760]

@@olafemio believe me, not only their age but also their rarity here in the Uk, I think it’s a bargain. Especially now it’s so difficult getting trees from EU.

[@ioan-sebastiansofiean3506]

hi how long the jujube stays in the flowering state until the fruit start to grow

[@kobeleonard148]

Did it fruit ?

[@joestropicals6760]

Hi Kobe, yes it did fruit 😀 I posted a video of the fruit also 🙌🏾
