My Ichi-Ke-Kei Jiro had some freeze damage from this past winter. My lowest temperature was -7 F and it occurred on two consecutive nights. I lost about 12 inches from the top of the leader, but new growth will quickly replace that. (actually the way it was growing I would have liked to have removed that growth anyway as it was leaning the tree towards the nearby sidewalk and kids already were frequently pulling leaves and such from it). My jujube's (two previous to this spring) both seemed to have taken a little damage from the winter as well. One, So, lost about 1/2 of its smaller contorted branching, but otherwise seems fine. The other, Shanxi Li, has developed long vertical splits along the bark below the graft (but none above) due to uneven heating I'm assuming. The damage was not aparent before the spring weather set it, and likely formed after the winter cold had really ended. I'm thinking I will need to paint the park of at least that variety. A new Jujube I planted this spring already has flowers forming (though I do not yet see buds on the other varieties). I also added a jujube and an American Persimmon at my MIL's house (she gave me free reign to garden there to my heart's content as I have pretty much run out of room at my own house). A fig that I was trying a new means of protection upon (my biggest and only outdoor year round variety) suffered an attack of voles which seem to have destroyed or severly weakened most mature growth (which is a shame as I thought I had an easier way of protecting the fig). ~Chills SE Michigan as well

Glad finally I got some info , I am a big fan of jujube but not sure weather This will fruit in Virginia or not ?? Gardengranma - did it fruit ever for you also i appreciate if i can get little shoots in spring

Hi Dan I would also love some cuttings. My mom has a horrible ragged white rose that she insists on trying to nurse to health but I think its time for a new rose bush for her. I'm hoping for any fragrant rose for her. she loves white roses so a fragrant white cutting if possible. I'm not sure what you would like from me but i'll go update my trade list as well. In general right now I can offer cuttings of Stewart avocado, beautiful lychee, gold nugget loquat, rose apple, fejoia sellowesie (Spelling?), foduingzhu sweet olive and aurantiacus, seeds of shiso, yomogi, japanese green onions and leeks, variety of radish seeds (black spanish, china rose, white hailstone), yellow champaca cuttings, Jujube cuttings. A white fig cutting (sorry I can't remember which tree is what fig but I have two and one is a Genoa and one is a dessert king- both delicious).

As far as I know, Rodge does not respond to email (sent to him 3 times). But I did get him on the phone.... He only takes orders with the mail.... with check.... I do not know what to say about him, good man, but not a real business type... As to Englands KY (Cliff?), when I contacted him last year, he said he only had some large jujube trees to sell and he kept all his smaller jujube trees to plant them in ground. Not sure if he wanted to grow them and sell larger trees, or that was for his own jujube production. Probably the former. So I did not buy anything from him.
