Why Choose a Jujube Tree?

A jujube tree (Ziziphus jujuba) is one of the most resilient fruiting trees you can plant. Once established, these trees produce fruit with little care. They are naturally resistant to pests and diseases, making them lower maintenance than many other fruit crops.

Benefits of jujube trees:

• Strong drought tolerance once mature
• Adaptable to a wide range of soil types
• Hardy in both cold winters and hot summer regions
• Reliable harvests of flavorful fruit
• Fruit is versatile: good for fresh eating or as chewy dried fruits

Because they are hardy and productive, Chinese date trees are a smart investment for gardeners across the United States.

Planting and Growing Jujube Trees

Growing a jujube tree is simple, even for beginners. These fruiting trees are shipped dormant and ready to establish in your soil.

Basic care instructions:

• Full sun – Needs 6–8 hours of sunlight daily
• Soil – Works well in a range of soil types, best in well-drained sandy or loamy soil
• Spacing – Plant 10–15 feet apart to allow room for growth
• Watering – Keep watered the first season; afterward, their drought tolerance makes them low-maintenance
• Pollination – Most are self-fruitful, but planting more than one tree can increase yields

These trees produce leaves later in spring, which helps protect buds from late frost. They need little pruning and no routine spraying.
