Jujube growing

This is something I will definitely be following. @PaulinKansas6b looks like all the jujube workshops and tastings have New Mexico growers excited

That is great!!! I hope their popularity continues to spread since they are so hardy for drier climates! Perhaps one day nice Li and honeyjar seedlings will be common even in the wild!

Exciting news for sure…any idea of when or prices?

No idea, I just saw this on Facebook and figured I would follow along and see how they do. I am curious as well on prices, looks like they are two years out from selling them.

My contribution to the sowing jujube seeds for rootstock:

Harbin,
How easy it is to separate those tightly grown seedlings?

What do you do with so many seedlings?

ctduckhunter · May 21, 2020, 7:59pm

Wow, that is a lot of seedlings right there. I’m guessing you had a very high success rate of germination. How long before you separate and pot individually?

I let them grow another month or two, then repot them into 2l pots:

they are quite easy to separate at any stage. Next season they are grafted…and what do I do with so many plants? Hopefully sell them.
