Li Jujube Tree
Description
Li Jujube is the one to plant if you have room for only one tree. This popular variety produces abundant, attractive, very large, mahogany-brown fruit. Sweet, crisp, and flavorful, Li’s fruit is the size and shape of a small egg with a very small, almost unnoticeable seed. Li Jujube matures early, a great benefit in short-growing-season areas.
Often referred as Chinese Date, the tree itself is a lovely landscape specimen with thin shiny leaves and interesting bark. Jujubes ripen in mid-to-late September. The Li Jujube tree is drought resistant and a great variety for warmer climates.
