How to eat jujube fruit? The fruit tastes like apple. You start eating it when it’s a mature green jujube fruit. Brown and firm fruit is sweetest. The fruit has a single seed. Fruit grow in a variety of shapes and sizes, depending on the variety of Jujube tree. The typical shape and size is similar to a date. Jujube fruit can be eaten fresh, dried or cooked.

I went 'all in' on the Jujube tree. NEEDS full sun and no too much else! Taste apple-like but is sweeter and with richer flavor tones. The tree is not well-known in America although it's VERY drought tolerant, disease and pest-free, not fussy about soil, and are easy to maintain! They do have small thorns :(. Jujube fruit benefits are well published but i haven't evaluated NIH studies. look for a complete tree guide at heppy.org/jujube ;)

Add about 10 jujubes to 1 gallon of water and boil slowly for 2 hours to make a really delicious tea and healthy drink! And when you have a cold, it's great to boil jujube and ginger together and drink it!

I have a coco, honey jar, and I’m adding sugar cane this upcoming spring. No fruits yet but I’m looking forward to trying them. Which variety would you recommend planing in the ground in zone 6? I get blasted with sun in my front yard.

i'm just about to do a deep dive on this tree; i believe they're ok in USDA Zone: 5-10 (i check one green world's website). GREAT choices from what i read (coco, honey jar, and sugar cane). i really like the So (Contorted) for being bushy and shorter; the Shan Xi Li (or, Shanxi Li) is known for larger fruit and the GA866for larger fruit. i JUST discovered a variety called Autumn Beauty. advertised as great tasting and a compact tree. thx for stopping by!

This guy got the variety name all wrong. He has no ideas

[@heppylifestyle]

i'm sorry u feel that way; all varieties came from two, A++ nurseries; that was a So, Shanxi Li, Li, Lang and GA 866 :)
