Jujubes:
Jujube's are a delicious apple/date like fruit. It's also known as the Chinese Date or Korean date. They store well and are a great snack.
The taste can be compared to a crunchy apple but interestingly enough the more you chew the sweeter it tastes.
I have a Li and Lang jujube planted in ground without any protection in Seattle. The video below is the progress from flower (June) to ripe fruit (October). Enjoy!
Hi, I am a new gardener to be, try to gether as much info as possible, now I only have one fig tree and three trellis ready, so please let me know where I can get some fruit and vegetables the cheapest way, I am very much interested in the jujubes. Ted
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this video. I though Jujube might not perform well in Seattle areas because I planted 2 of them about 7 years ago in north of Seattle and never get any fruit. Now after watching this video I will try again . Thank you so much. ( Maybe Early season varieties be better to plant )
ReplyDeleteHello, Can you confirm if your Jujube's ever grew out in to a tree form? I am from the Tacoma area and was curious on this.
ReplyDeleteYes they do
ReplyDeleteI like your video! It is amazing you are so professional with gardening. Do you have any Beijing白马牙jujube tree？ Thank you! My email is sisiji2002@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteHi Ben, I have recently decided to start an orchard, I live in Snohomish Washington. I was on Temu of all places and found bare root jujubes. So I started researching it and came across your vlog. I appreciate your info. I couldn’t agree more with your statement about grass. I watch my now 84 y/o father slave over acres of grass every year. I just roll my eyes and of course dish him up some proper sarcasm lol. Anyway, it’s my belief that lawns are the decline of many things but especially insects. Don’t get me started on the bee topic. So I thought I’d drop you a line and thank you for your info. I would love a follow up on your jujubes to date. Happy gardening! Oh, P.S. I have volunteer tomato plants everywhere. Apparently it means we aren’t getting our compost hot enough. If we were we wouldn’t be getting volunteers because it would burn the seeds. Hope that helps. If it even bothers you. Maybe you like volunteers. I do sometimes. My problem is I hate killing a plant. So the volunteers stay. Sometimes they really cause problems but I just can’t get myself to destroy a perfectly healthy plant. I just started content creation on TikTok check me out sometime.
