It should work, they sprout like crazy from everywhere. Just make sure to be diligent about pruning out all the rootstock sprouts or you could come out one day and find one of the rootstock sprouts 5' off the ground (been there done that). And as Bass mentions do it in very early spring / late winter. Scott

For any jujube growers in the northern VA area, I have a 3-year old sherwood jujube tree and I would like to graft other varieties onto it. I will trade cuttings with you if you are interested. Send me an email.

I have 4 gojiberry plants rooted in pots that i would like to trade for guiomi plants or root cuttings. Also will take passion fuit of a jujube plant. Send email to ctboring@yahoo.com.

It's hard to explain why you lost your tree. I planted a nice size Sherwood in spring of the past year and it is still going. I have it on drip irrigation getting about 1 gallon per day even on the hottest days and it's green but no fruit yet. It's possible that you could've overfertilized it the first year. I never put fertilizer in the hole where the new roots are. I just sprinkle some Osmocote around the base of tree and let it do its thing.
