I’m not worried about the name…worst case we can take a poll and rename it later, assuming it is good. 
Price was a bit steep ($30 min +$12 shipping), but I ordered scionwood for both Chico #1 and Hidden Gem, an acidic jujube that sounds like it is halfway between Texas Tart and a normal sweet jujube.

Wow, the review is amazing. I have 8 varieties of Jujube’s plus a bunch of seedlings from Sugarcane. I am very interested in the Texas Tart variety. Hopefully I can use it as a breeding stock. Where can I get some scions of Texas tart? By the way, I am in Texas

i agree with(as well as mildly protest along with) everyone above i just quoted.
Juju aficionados are typically a chill bunch, but seems like there’s something capable of getting us ‘triggered’ 
on the flip side, it does make me feel better since won’t be alone in causing a nomenclature conundrum if vegas booty ends up being genetically the same as sherwood(or another named variety ) mainly because didn’t grow all our seedlings in pots.
and having been paranoid about it, i did (sadly)manage to verify recently that juju roots(from in-ground trees)can climb up the bottom holes of our potted seedlngs even with intervening gravel. Another “duh” moment we could end up inadvertently being guilty of should the invading root manages to leaf out from within the pot… So now placing some of our ascertained cultivars on concrete slabs or pavers!

just saw one of her other juju videos, which is the inverse of how chico#1 is to chico(when it comes to shape)
she acquired a GA866 that bears roundish fruits instead of the cylindrical/cone-shaped GA866 many of us are familiar with
Looks like they have 4 scions left. That is where I originally got it from as well.
Hopefully it isn’t just Chico and GA866 swapped
If that was the case, I would be getting GA866 wood, which would be disappointing given that it is such a poor producer here.

The first time I saw her report on Chico #1, I wondered if it was GA866.
How would Roger Meyer have missed a tree this good?

below is the video of her reporting of the “fake GA866” . On closer look the fruits seem to be more roundish and not pumpkin shape but maybe just a regional cause-effect

Thx. I usually eat my chico half red so that there are some acidity left.
I came across this seller on FB he has a nursery. I saw a lot of new cultivar, has anyone grown any of these new varieties? Anyone buy from this seller/ nursery?

I saw you mentioned it back in December. Did you go ahead and buy the 6 trees you listed? I’d also be interested to hear from anyone who has purchased trees from them.
Of the things they are selling, I have had fruit from Da Bai Ling. I think Horsetooth is another name for Maya (or Ma Ya).
I see a few other names I recognize, but I have no idea about some of them. I’d love to hear about people’s results with this nursery. The descriptions say 34-40" and 0.5-0.8" diameter, which is a good sized tree.

I think it is two different seller , two nursery website I think so. Both of them the prices are a little high for my budget so I don’t ever think I can buy from them. Particularly, I dont really know about the nursery. Other nurseries have been around longer in comparison. But I would like to know how they are the varieties, perhaps some other nurseries will offer the same varieties for less.

I was only referring to “HardToFindTrees”. What is the 2nd nursery?
yes your right it is the same nursery. i think the the last time i went to that nursery it looked different and perhaps the name of the seller on FB was different. no wonder the price was similar out of my range.
