Hi there. Are you interested in anything else? I have a dwarf pomegranate (can't recall the name), Babcock Peach, Snow White nectarine, Persian lime, Honey Tangerine, Pink Lemonade Lemon, Washington Navel Orange,Gala apple, Blood Moro Orange and multiple other lemons, peaches, oranges, nectarines, apricots and plums. If you're interested, just let me know as I'll need to provide you with a list once I can get outside. Thanks for the consideration. Best, Julie

Scott, I'm in awe of your home orchard. I am trying my hand at one in MD also, and have many of the same types of fruits as yourself, but far fewer varieties! You really have made the best of a lovely big yard. I would love to hear your recommendations about Jujubes for our climate. Still no fruit from your Sherwood? I've heard other people complain of that from time to time. I'm looking for something which will taste good dried--have you tried all of your varieties dried yet? And I want something with fewer (or no) thorns, without compromising on flavor. Have you had problematic suckering from your Jujubes? I've seen complaints about this too. Thanks in advance for your words of advice! By the way, what in part of MD are you located? Christina

Saw this thread about the juicy jujube from Taiwan, I wanted to make sure everyone knows that there are two different types of jujube. Simply expanding what harbin had mentioned earlier. The one in this video, is the Indian Jujube (Zizyphus mauritiana Lam.). Growing up in Taiwan, that is one of the fruits we love to eat, super juicy, not very sweet, but refreshing to eat. It is quite different from the Chinese Jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.), which we eat mostly after they are ripened and dried to use as Chinese medicine ingredient. They are what most of the US gardeners are growing. In Taiwan, we simply call the Indian Jujube, the GREEN JUJUBE. And the Chinese Jujube for medicinal purpose, the RED JUJUBE. In Taiwan, we don't use them interchangeably, so don't want you to be disappointed buying any jujube tree and hoping somehow to get a super juicy fruit. :-)

You may be talking about a jujube. I found one here in Denver last summer. Boy do the squirrels love it! It tastes a bit like a dry apple, but the pit can be easily chewed. The leaves you describe don't sound like jujube leaves, but most jujube do have some thorns. I bought one this spring from Roger Meyer. This is the one I found last fall. Do a search for Jujube and see if that's what you have. Roger's website is still not finished, but you could get the contact information from here: Here is a link that might be useful: Jujube Scionwood
