Product Description

Plum-sized fruits
Ideal for fresh eating, dried or candied
Drought-tolerant tree

The name says it all. Super Sweet Jujube is the sweetest variety we've tried. Fruits have a high sugar content and sweet, apple flavor. Harvest at their light yellow stage for a fresh, crisp texture. Ripe fruits can also be candied or dried like dates. Attractive in the landscape with shiny leaves and picturesque bark. Self-pollinating. Zones 6-9.

Why buy a Deluxe package - Deluxe fruit trees include 2 oz. of Fruit-Boost™ Pelletized Calcium to enhance fruit quality, 12 oz. bag of Fruit Tree Food Starter Formula, easy-to-use tree ties (see video below), a premium tree guard to protect the trunk from gnawing pests, mowers and weed trimmers.
