Thanks for sharing, I thought here in Australia most people create their Jujube rootstock for grafting from suckering.. but I will give this technique a try when I harvest my ones in summer 🙂

The technique works well and thank you for sharing your knowledge publicly. I was surprised the number of seed I had to crack to find a plump one for germination. Well over 90% of seeds from my tree were dried and not ready for germination. I didn’t realize the yield of jujube seeds would be so limited. The yield of regular date tree seeds is much higher, I thought jujube seeds would be a similar yield. Unfortunately, that’s not the case

[@ItsJustGardening]

Your welcome 🤗 and thank you for sharing your experience.

I tried with Chinese dry jujube, and from fresh Spanish and Maroccan ones. They were all with no exceptions without any seed.

[@ItsJustGardening]

Sorry to hear.

[@___michael___7165]

Jujuba is an invasive. My tree is surrounded by concrete, yet roots run over ten feet under concrete and put out 20 to 30 feet away. Without constant control, it will look like a jungle. It is simple to dig up root stock still attached to the mother tree....or let individual plants grow still attached. Again, jujuba is an invasive.....with stickers. That said, my one tree has produced over five gallons of ripe fruit this year.

[@ItsJustGardening]

Yep, they send out a lot runners. Thanks for sharing. What variety do you have.

My Joojoob trees are great, give a good harvest every year, even the suckers give fruit really early. They tolerate drought, birds and pests don't bother them and they dry off the tree for keeping in Kilner jars for years. A delicious fruit for muesli, making tea or just on its own. Thanks for the video, I will try your method of propagation.

Wow!! That us amazing. What is the name of your jujube?. I want Ga-866 seed very badly because this kind is the sweetest jujube among all jujube, but all the pit has no seeds. Do you recommend perhaps try To find vital seeds while it is still green?. Thank you for sharing your education 🙏. Looking forward on your next vedio.

Reported 2-3 years with perfect condition, but I would say 5 years for me cuz this is my first time growing from seed.

I always thought this was a Middle Eastern fruit until I came to the US and realized it came from Asia. We call it unab(i) or anab(i) pronounced oo-nah-b with or without the last ee sound or ah-na-b with or without the ee sound. It is not a common fruit, and to me it is like a delicacy, because it is rare and expensive. My distant family had the tree when we were kids. I loved to eat it and the popcorn (nothing to do with the fruit but it always came in that combination in my childhood, or with some New Year time sweets), when we visited them. Now I can find it in some groceries where I live in California. I want to grow mine though. It is to taste. Some of my family members are very indifferent or don’t like the taste. To me, when ripe and dried, it tastes almost like jackfruit.

[@ItsJustGardening]

Nice, thanks for sharing, now that you mentioned it’s does have a hint taste like jackfruit fruit. In CA you shouldn’t have problem finding the tree with cheap price.

[@evan.hongzhengyang7135]

Did you put the seed in the fridge after putting the cinnamon, or just a regular dark place? Btw awesome video 🎉

[@ItsJustGardening]

Hi, People reported 2-3 years in a perfect condition, this is my first seedling so I will be documenting it along the way. But my guess is 4-5 years to fruit with many plant from seed. Thanks for watching.

[@tavyfavorite1149]

Have you ever seen the ga866 fruits have tge vital seeds?. In your video, try to find the green fruits to find vital seeds. I've try the green fruits and the seeds germinate in a half crack shell. No need to remove all seeds shell. Too much work for me. I'm not patient to remove all seeds out of the shell

[@ItsJustGardening]

Cool, thanks for sharing. I just got a ga866 tree and planted this year, if it get fruit I will try it.

[@coleken6649]

Just curious are Chinese black dates same fruit as jujube? Can it grow & fruit in a tropical climate?

[@ItsJustGardening]

Im not familiar with Chinese black date, but a quick read it’s a Da Zao jujube? It seem like it’s the same. Not sure. In term of tropical climate people grow this in California but if we talking about Asia tropical the Thai or the Indian jujube is better in that climate because Chinese jujube need cold chill hours.

[@cansarratt3407]

You can try, bust mostly the seed is dead because it’s dried out.

Do you need cold temperature to germinate them ??

Nope, just regular room temp.

[@sgdsingh9123]

Can you keep them as indoor trees, if you live in a harsh-weather place?

[@ItsJustGardening]

Yes you can keep them as house plant, but they get big, you can keep it indoor when they are seedling then plant out later, jujube can survive down to zone 5 and temperatures -20F

[@angeliqueroux3017]

Will this work with store bought dried jujubes? 🤔

Yes, but it would be the same trying to find a vital seed. You can read the comments people post in this video. I bought some from store but didn’t have any luck.

Growing from seed is pain in the back. I find it much easier to dig out one of those shoots that come out of the roots. For some varieties, there are lots of shoots

Yes. I have two varieties. Do not know the name as they where sifted. One variety is thornless, about 2 inches long. Oval shape. Eat these fresh.The other variety is smaller, sweeter and use it more for soup and cooking. The smaller one has a lot of suckers. The larger has produced two suckers in 15 year.

[@TOPMOSTPOP]

@@ItsJustGardening Note not all jujube will even begin 2 seed split as u show in video. End of thday just snipping the ends will work for most people. U usually have 2dry seed several months b4 it wants to split with hammer Especially if seed is fresh it wont split. So just trim ends so water gets in root can pop out. Throot will pop out and tell u. I am vital. Its easier work then trying split seed i think. Your method is less natural. Seed often needs the stresses of opening coat.
