Hi,
I’d like to find someone with a Honey Jar that would like to trade for a fresh bench graft of persimmon, pawpaw, pecan, hican, shagbark hickory, Persian walnut, or ornamental grafted oak - this late June.
I also have available currently a good number of persimmon and pawpaw cultivars from last years grafts… as well as pecans. My persimmon and pawpaw wood this year is much more rare.
PM if interested.

Honey Jar was incredibly hard for me to find this year. EdibleLandscaping is now selling some: Jujubes - Edible Landscaping
May want to grab it while you can!
I’m pushing it I know. I think there are grafters on here with a plant though.
Thanks for your direction and coercion 
Ross!

It was on sale at Burnt Ridge and Just Fruits and Exotics earlier this winter, but both places are out of stock now. Even jujube rootstocks aren’t that easy/cheap to get, as the only place I know of selling them is Rolling River ($15).
I think the fastest path to getting a decent sized Honey Jar is to buy a full tree from Trees of Antiquity (Li was biggest for me last year), then graft Honey Jar to it. I’m not sure if it would be better to graft to it this year or next. Trying this year and if it fails doing it once it is established is probably your best bet. The above assumes that you aren’t able to get it from EL, which would probably be the best option.
Thanks for chiming in Bob.

L E Cooke has terrific honey jars. Large, Great roots. They only sell to resellers so you’ll need to see if someone by you has them. There’s a reseller 40 min from me, Doans, I bought one last year; but they don’t ship
If your heart is set on grafting, pm me
L E Cooke is sold out this year. And unfortunately, there’s no nursery near me that carries their products.
I’ve called Rolling River and left them a message to return my call as to seedling caliper they sell.
I just need a dang seedling to save some cash and put a graft on it, but I may end up having to buy one.
I’m going to PM you Bhawkins.

I’ve never ordered the seedling rootstocks, but if you are looking for info on the grown trees (which, I admit are pricey to use as rootstocks), I detailed them here:
Bob, does Just Fruits and Exotics root all the jujubes that they sell?
Dax
I’m not sure, but I think they do. I know they grow So that way. Next time I talk to them, I’ll try to remember to ask.
A good way for us to buy them for sure.
Thanks, let us know, Bob.

Rolling River Nursery Jujube seedlings are 1/8" caliper. Not the best deal for 15bucks at a crack!

Another place to try is to email Cliff England:
His site says that he’ll have Honey Jar in spring.
Sweet.
EDIT: I got me a tree secured from Cliff. Thank you so much, Bob.

I called Just Fruits and Exotics. Their jujubes are rooted or grafted and it’s a mixed bag of what they send out.
‘So’ - the only cultivar they have available currently - all are on their own roots.

I called them to ask about when some of the out of stock cultivars would be ready. Last fall they had suggested that it could be in the spring, but it sounds like it will be fall. They mentioned that before they post the inventory, they contact the people who are on the wait lists and give them first shot.
I asked if some of them are harder than others to root and if that was the reason that some were grafted and they said that it had more to do with time of year and what kind of wood they have available. Basically, to root, use green wood in summer, rooting hormone, a mister and sterile media. It takes a month to 6 weeks.
He mentioned that they have a huge Tigertooth and that a lot of the trees that are grafted are using the suckers from it, so even if you don’t get a rooted one, the suckers could still be worthwhile. Good to hear, as he said he thought the Sugar Cane and Honey Jar I should be receiving soon (end of March) are grafted.
