Li Jujube
Zizyphus jujuba 'Li'
One of the few self-fruitful jujubes available in the US! Li offers medium-sized, gorgeous mahogany brown fruits. The fruits average 1" tall, with a stout, barrel shape and a very mild flavor when fresh. Dried, they are sweet and great for use in teas and preserves. Ripens mid-season, and fruit quality increases as the tree matures. Li is somewhat less thorny than many other varieties.
Jujubes are pretty trees with glossy green leaves that turn yellow in the autumn. Called “Chinese Date”, the fruit is very sweet, reddish brown when ripe, with a single seed. These thorny, grafted trees will grow to 20’ or more but can be maintained much smaller. They are very productive and start producing fruit quickly. The fruit needs hot summers to ripen well. In cooler summers pick it half brown and half green and bring it inside to finish ripening. The myth of Zizyphus is that they are all tender subtropicals, but jujubes are hardy down to zone 6.
