why jujube Li best for first jujube?
Comments (20)I'm new to this forum. I didn't know Sam Powers' handle. Sunday I was out at the Harris County Master Gardeners orchard looking at the pears and jujubes, checking for budbreak. George McAfee showed up and told me the bad news. I have not confirmed it but they both usually go to the Fruit Study Group meetings. I missed the last three. George grafted all of the original pears and citrus at the orchard and I think Sam did the jujubes. Sam did some later ones I know. When I did not see him or his wife Ginger at the Galveston County Citrus Show I new it was a bad sign. He gave me a Sihong. He helped so many people with valuable tips on what to do, when, and how. He sold bundles of rare jujube and persimmon budwood at the spring grafting clinic for almost nothing. He really liked helping people get on track starting their own orchard. I could not count the times someone asked some "expert" a question and they said, "you need to talk to Sam about that"....See MoreCan jujube be planted in a pot?
Comments (5)Scott, This is only in a 1 gallon pot, but I resized it to a 3 gallon last fall. This is a grafted tree ofcourse, I have few seedlings in containers that never produced for me. There are many that will bear olive sized fruit, One variety that I have would be Abbeyville. Kiwinut, There are many myths and theories about growing trees. I say experiment to find out yourself if it can be done or not. One thing I've noticed that for the flowers to be pollinated, you want to keep water away from blooms. That washes away the pollen and keeps fruit from setting. Unfortunately most of the Jujubes you see in the photos were bitten by a squirrel when they were ripe. I still ate them after cutting off the bitten side. Bass...See MoreJujube Harvest
Comments (2)Thanks so much for the post. It is great to learn more about these interesting trees, from a first-hand source. Jujube is quite adaptable, since it can take the cold as well as heat. Jujubes are a regular at the farmer's market here in Santa Fe, and I've planted a Li (which was tiny initially and has struggled to grow well) and a sugarcane (which has done better and flowered profusely but no fruit yet)....See MoreSome Pictures on Chinese Jujube
Comments (18)Redsun I appreciate all the research your doing, I can't say I understand all the aspects of growing Jujubes. My Contorted So is currently about 16 ft tall, diameter is 8" at the trunk; it's been my fastest growing jujube. The korean orchard is about 30 years old. They prune aggressively and keep the tree height low, not mucher higher than a person can reach. When I was there the farmer tried to show me how to prune, they even prune the leaves during summer; but there was quite a language barrier and no leaves when I was there. I'm still trying to get an answer if they spray. They harvest by shaking the tree and knocking branches with a stick....See MoreNikitas_10a, Corfu
