  • Growing jujube, also known as Chinese date or red date, (Ziziphus jujuba) in USDA zone 9b, Sunset zone 14 in Northern California. Here I talk about the varieties (cultivars) "Sugar Cane" and "Li"

      @@WizBoots When I planted it, it was a stick that was up to my knee and because of the color of the bark I thought it was dead. Well its about 7'6" as of right now, had a couple of little fruits but they dropped. Looks extremely healthy and I swear it is growing bigger every day. I planted a lot of trees last year, this is the one I am least worried about. So yeah, going really good so far.

    I have a pretty big sugarcane variety but produces very little fruit. I just bought a li to cross pollinate... hopefully it'll fruit more this year.

    • @feralkevin
      @feralkevin  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      This sugarcane took several years before it bore fruit, then fruited sparsely. But the last two years it has been very productive. I do see nursery jujubes covered with fruit even though they are small, but in my experience it takes them several years in the ground before they do anything

    • @feralkevin
      @feralkevin  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Every jujube I have bought has been cut back either all the way or most of the way due to the thornyness of the branches. They will grow back just fine typically, although every single one I have planed struggled for 1-3 years before they took off. Easy easy to grow once established, but sometimes difficult to establish has been my experience.

    • @UndefinedBailiwick
      @UndefinedBailiwick 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      You can buy Li and Lang jujubes at Moon Valley Nursery, Star Nursery or Lowes no problem now. The tree I bought at Lowes was over 6' tall with plenty of branches in a 3.5 gal for only $22. The cultivars beside those two you will have to buy online or go to a tropical plant nursery.

      Jujube is Sidr. Sidr available in Arabian peninsula with three main variety The first is called Ebri it has similar size leaves and fruit as the ziziphus one , the second is Baladi or Nebeq more like sugar cane the third grows in the desert leaves are smaller than fruit itself and the seeds are normally bigger than the fruit skin. Many other variety available came from India Southeast Asia. Amazing and blessed fruit. Also called knar fruit.

    I have a honey jar variety. I was wondering if you could compare it with a Sugarcane that you have. I like the honey jar because it’s very sweet relative to my Li and Lang, but the tree I have produces very small fruits and big seeds so it isn’t ideal.

    How well do they handle frost?

    • @feralkevin
      @feralkevin  5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      They are deciduous, so as long as they are dormant they handle frost just fine. If they have already leafed out in spring and you get a late frost, will damage the new growth, or if you get super early frosts before the fruit ripens then it will destroy the fruit. But they are NOT tropical or subtropical.

      They are hardy when dormant to -28 degrees F. So yes for the most part. However, once they leaf out they are sensitive as well as the fruit which tends to ripen late can be ruined by early frosts and freezes.

      Possibly pollination? The flowers should be buzzing with insects off all sorts. Also, it can drop young fruit when too dry, although they are drought tolerant, don't let them dry out when setting fruit. Also, jujubes, which certainly can form fruit and ripen them in containers, much prefer to be in the ground where their roots can spread out.
