Yes, wild jujube used for rootstock does not taste as good as the name varieties. Rootstock jujube has small fruits and very sour but sometimes if you are lucky to have it crossed with a name varieties then the fruits taste a little sweeter. It is very easy to graft them. You can use bark graft or cleft graft. Dr Yao has a good video to demo how to do it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFLwOWe0KQ4. Good Luck.

Hi guys, I am not so happy. So I contacted Mike from Top to ask him if there is anything wrong with my jujube leaves being yellow and not green. I also told him about the atemoya with poor root system. He then told me he will refund for the atemoya when I contacted him last week. Then after that he didn't email me again. So earlier today I emailed him again and told him the jujube leaves are still yellow and if it's iron deficiency and if there is anyway for me to help the tree so it can grow healthy. All the leaves are still droopy with some leaves dried up and crispy. Also, after checking most of the branches are broken. His reply was for me to send all the trees back. He'll pay for shipping and all I have to do is pack the trees and send them back. He say the jujube leaves are like that because of winter damage. I am not happy how he just ask me to send the trees back and then refund my money. All I'm asking is how can I save the tree. It's a pain to send the trees back! So I asked him to give the jujube another few weeks to see if it will get better. I told him since I paid $69.95 for the atemoya before and now that his atemoya is $49.95 then he only need to refund me the difference. I'm just not happy now.:( It's really a waste of money to send the trees back and fort. I was thinking if he refund some of the money for the atemoya then I will probably use that money to buy another tree from him. But it seems like this is the end of me and Top? I just received an email for the refund of my jujube. I didn't contacted him to ask for a refund for the jujube....I was asking for help.:(

Thanks Ch3rri. Yours looks very good. Mine is just a twig. It doesn't look like the same tree you got a year ago. The main trunk was straight. Now there seems to be two main branches. Mine tree looks the same as yours. Now I know what kind of fruit I am going to get. I have been buying that fruit a couple of time from a Chinese store. I thought they are special plums. Most of them are not sweet to mildly sweet. But all of them are crispy. To me, they are completely different things compared to Chinese Jujube. I read somewhere that they grow like weeds. Well, didn't see the potential yet. YT

I started some rootstocks late last year from seed and they are all about 4-6 inches tall now and still dormant. I have a few I can trade you if you'd like to swap some plant material. Please feel free to email me at ediblelandscaping.sc@gmail.com and maybe we can work something out. Good luck and if you find some seeds they need to be refrigerated in moist but not wet sand, perlite, peat moss, or sphagnum moss for 3 months, then planted in the soil or pots before they will sprout for you.
