Giving OGW's winter d and massandra jujubes one more try

if i thought OGW’s pricing was a bit steep, it is because haven’t seen jfae’s

55$ per bareroot?

They are potted- 3 gal pots, I think. I have some pics in a vendor comparison thread.

Ordering Jujube and Chinese Hawthorn Trees

My order from JFaE arrived today- I’ll be planting tomorrow. They all look good. I think they did a lot less cutting this time on the jujubes, than my order from 4 years ago. One of the So (far left below) is very nice and bushy with about a dozen branches. The other is a bit thinner with half a dozen, similar to the Tigertooth. The jujube calipers are all around 1/2"-9/16", with 38-42" in height. The persimmon is a relatively thin whip (a bit over 3/8" caliper) and 3’ tall. It is in qui…

What was the caliper (of the variety, not the rootstock) of the OGW trees? Mine were 3/16", one of the smallest trees from anywhere.

Also, I thought that Winter Delight was a late season jujube, but OGW has the following (bold added by me):

A popular variety in Northern China, Winter Delight is a very cold hardy and compact tree that produces large, egg-shaped fruits that are crisp and sweet. Winter Delight is one of the earliest jujube fruits to ripen and is delightful in winter with its elegant branches and stunning aura.
