Li Jujube Tree

Did the seller top the tree you bought, I’ve seen them at Walmart with the top chopped off and for a very small tree that is not a great thing to do as the main trunk creates the canopy. When the Jujube is at the height you want maybe those things can be done.

These trees although they get tall are very invasive. They put out shoots from the root system.

Hi! I have 2 in pots until next year when I will plant them at the permanent site. Just be aware that your Jujube trees will probably be only ornamental and difficult to flower or produce fruits. I have many fruit trees in pots. During the cold months, I cover the pots with lots of straw and if the pot isn’t to heavy or big, I open a hole in the ground and cover it with soil and straw. Grafted Jujube trees are not as easy to grow as PawPaws at least here in Michigan.

Yes, the Loquat is often referred to as the "Japanese Plum," although the fruit does not in any way resemble what we commonly identify as plums. There is an actual Japanese Plum tree that is not a Loquat, however.

I believe the best time to plant trees and shrubs is in the Fall once the weather cools. This will give the planting time to grow roots before the stress of summer heat and foliage growth begins.

On Jujube trees if you cut the top of the tree off, the main trunk it does not continue to grow a nice canopy. These trees should not be topped of or should I say chopped off until they are at the height you wish.

This is one of the most delicious fruits I have ever tasted. I had this tree in Florida and produced abundant fruits the following year. I moved to Michigan and finally found it again. The tree grows fast and is incredible beautiful!

Jujube trees (Ziziphus jujuba) prefer full sun to produce the best fruit, but they can tolerate part shade. However, growing a jujube tree in part shade can result in:

Reduced fruit production: While the tree will likely still grow, jujube trees produce more fruit and higher-quality fruit in full sun. Less sunlight can reduce the size and sweetness of the fruit.
Slower growth: The tree may grow more slowly in partial shade compared to a location that receives full sun.
If you have an area with part shade that still receives at least 4-6 hours of sunlight per day, the tree can still grow, but it won’t perform as well as it would in a full-sun location. Ideally, try to plant it where it can get as much sunlight as possible.
