#81

Here is a partial computer generated translation:

I have the Bailing jujube, the winter jujube, the pear and jujube, Long Zao, small garden jujube and frog jujube. Other special varieties do not have on-hand merchandise, must wait the next year.

If I can get her email or contact info I will work with what I have a Chinese and Korean translation system program on my PC so communication is the easy part

Getting her to sell to me would be the hard part
Thank you so very much Some of this I have the and Dae Bo 大白岭 I have several versions of this Dae Bo Is the Korean Equivalence Great Bell shape

The Hulu / Millstone / Gourd jujubes the real name in Chinese is gourd shape cultivar is called ‘Mopanzao’ in Chinese

We do have many but they will not release that one out of China YET or the truly seedless One for the record

But I am always making new contacts and I will see what I can find in the future

We do have a seedless one from the Chinese embassy in the Czech republic but it only aborts the seed when lack of pollen event happens

Thank you
Cliff

Just taste test one of the Jujube seedling fruit. It is crunchy but a little tart. If you like acid then this one is for you.

I bought 2 Li Jujube trees last year. I kept them in containers and protected them last winter with a thick layer of leaves and branches. We had -21F last winter and they survived !
They are now bout 6 ft tall.
One of my 2 trees is now fruiting (about 10 jujubes). I hope some of them will mature before our first frost.
I’m in zone5 - Montreal, Qc, Canada

That’s fantastic!!

#92

that is amazing @CQFD ! Quebec sounds a little too extreme to grow jujus…

and even more encouraging is that one of your trees is producing even with a relative shortage of daylight hours during your growing season, on top of long winters and early autumns

#93

Actually he should have very long daylight times during growing season that probably gives him good advantage. Very short winter days. Right?

Katy

#94

i guess the answer is a yes and a no, if we take into account how early deciduous trees leaf out, and how late in the year they start losing their leaves. Air and ground temperature also influences this greatly. One may be growing trees in regions with longer daylight hours at the peak of summer, but if so happens trees are typically a month late to leaf out in spring, and a month early losing their leaves, the trees lose out overall.

Indeed k8tpayaso,
Very long and warm summer days up here.
Main problem up here is that all my fruit trees (apples, plums cherry, etc…) are in full bloom in May and my jujubes broke their first buds in June… started flowering in July and up untill August…
Next summer, I will make sure they are exposed to more warmth earlier in the season :slight_smile:
Ps: After years of trials (and mostly errors), I now found a fig cultivar that provides me with great figs up here, so I’m hopeful I will be able to grow jujubes :slight_smile:
