Description
While the fruit is smaller than most other Jujube varieties, the Honey Jar Jujube makes up for it with juicy, sweet taste! With thin skin, this variety is excellent for fresh eating or dehydrating.
A beautiful ornamental as well as fruiting plant, Jujube’s are a rare and unique tree, displaying shiny foliage and abundant, fragrant, white flowers that bloom in mid-summer.
Also known as Chinese Date, Jujube’s unique and tasty fruit becomes reddish-brown when ripe, with a sweet apple-like flavor and crisp texture. Easy to grow and early ripening, the Honey Jar Jujube is drought resistant and grows well in the Northwest and many other regions of the US.
