Jujubes - A great tasty fruit you can grow in the backyard

[@AH-le3py]

Very common in India and Pakistan. In Pakistan called poor men fruit. Many many health benefits, used in Chinese medicine for over 3 thousand years. We in Asia have the wild varieties. In west are new cultivator.

[@poodleoodle7689]

Your videos are great! Not many PNW gardening channels esp fruit trees. Keep up the great work!

[@pootrick]

Can you provide a link in the description to an updated video or picture of the trees now? I'd love to see what they look like now.

[@Malvision1]

Do you need more than one variety to pollenate them?

[@andersonsoutdoors4873]

I'm hoping to plant one this year. We are in New Mexico, so quite different from Seattle, but I think it should work.....Thanks for the vid!

[@Juana34birrueta]

Andersons Outdoors no worries I have one and I live in vegas

[@MimosaMai]

Thank you for sharing. I am in the Seattle area and had always wondered if Jujube can be grown here since iI heard that it needs the long summer heat to bloom and fruit. Have you tried the new variety GA866? I just bought one and someone just told me it would not produce in our climate.

[@organicgrow4440]

Thanks for the awesome vid, I just planted a Chico, now waiting for my Sherwood.

[@tavyfavorite1149]

Can you tell the Different variety of jujube fruits tree? Li, Lang, Sherwood, coco, Chico, shanxi Li, honey jar, sugarcane, GA-866, Cassandra jujube and toa, ?.

[@organicgrow4440]

Tavyfavorite no I can’t not yet anyway.

[@HoaNguyen-up3ed]

Why my apple so spongy?

[@theriverschool822]

I planted a Li and Lang from Hidden springs nursery in the fall. They are already flowering the first year. The Lang was 2.5 ft when I planted it and it's already taller than me. I was worried because it's still just full of flowers, no fruit, at the end of June. Apparently, that's normal. Thanks for the video. I guess I should start seeing the fruit develop over the next month.

[@aldop263]

Where i live un México jujube its very comon grow everywhere and its good with heat and cold

[@leilanik3333]

They do grow into a Bush form here in Washington. There is a special pruning technique to get them to do it. I believe there is a how to here on KZbin. Yes I have a couple here in Tacoma that are bushes.

[@BenBSeattle]

I'd be interested in this pruning technique.

[@pootrick]

Hello, I am also in Tacoma and just got a tree. Have your jujube's turned in to trees as of yet, or are they remaining as a bush still?

[@julianmoody9768]

Where do you buy them and are thay cold hardie?

[@fazranafazal9618]

From where you bought this plant

[@Joe99]

I heard these can be invasive with suckers growing up out of the ground, so I'm a bit nervous about planting one. Wondering if you've heard the same. Oh, yep guess you heard about that as well.

[@binbin9]

I've read about that. In seattle it may have a different growth habit. I dug up a 2yr old tree and moved it last yr. The roots did not extend very far from the trunk. So I have not experienced it nor know how long it would take for roots to get that deep.

[@Joe99]

Thanks for the response. The label on mine said it is good for containers, so I think I'm gonna go that route.

[@elainema1000]

Hi Ben, do you know the mature height of your Li Jujube tree. I am going to get one. Thank you

[@gongsan3673]

My tree did the same thing. I lightly scored the stalk with a nife to wake up the tree. New branches are sprouting now.

[@zaviahopethomas-woundedsou9848]

They have tap roots and do not like pots, that could inhibit the growth. They also like sandy soil for good drainage.
