Does anybody know of a Jujube rootstock source?
What is the best variety for rootstock
Can Jujube be grown from rooted cuttings?
You can buy rootstock from Rolling River Nursery. It is very expensive at $15 each. I do not know how big it is. Some members from one of the groups that I am in are touting Jin Si Lin is the best rootstock. This is mainly in Australia and I don’t know if this variety is even present in USA. I know nothing about it. Most use sour jujuba I think. I don’t know if there is enough research or info out there to say that certain rootstock give certain attributes. I found another nursery selling rootstock but it was $20 so I soon forgot who that was.
Thanks but Rolling River Nursery is sold out
what about growing from rooted cuttings?
Root cuttings , yes
That has worked for me
I think it was you who posted a picture of a website with jujube sale few weeks ago. I flipped through all the jujube threads to find it. No luck. Do you remember which nursery it was?
Rolling River’s web site is showing 136 available and I was able to put some in cart.
Some people are trying to do cuttings and it is working for some but not with success in a large percentage of attempts. Root cutting are more likely to grow. Suckers from actually trees have been the most successful source of cloned rootstock.
It was on the discount offers thread.
Thank you both. One place I didn’t check
To clarify what I said above …
I did not mean rooting scion cuttings
( many varietys will not root from stem cuttings ? )
I meant taking cuttings of roots ,…
They often sprout. And can be used as rootstock.
As can digging up suckers from around a tree
Where are you finding availabililty on www.rollingrivernursery.com I can only find grafted trees
are they rootstock or seeklings
I have ziziphus mauritiana seed that I’ll be growing and using as rootstock. Aside from.that I’ve used suckers off of my own plants as rootstock.
I have some smaller size seedlings but all my grafting size for this year are already accounted for. If you are willing to grow them out for a year feel free to shoot me an message I can help you out.
How much for your seedlings, variety?
The price would depend on how many you want, they are jujube var. spinosa seedlings 8-10 inches tall. Base price would be $3 each plus shipping. I can make you an ebay listing for however many you want.You can check my feedback here. https://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=food-forest-flowers&ftab=AllFeedback For anything over 50 I can do them for $2 each plus shipping. If you need 100 we could do them for $200 with free shipping. All are pot grown so the roots won’t be chopped off like field grown seedlings. I also have persimmon seedlings about 14-20 inches tall for $3 each plus shipping and they have nice roots too. Just let me know what you want to do and I’ll be happy to accommodate.
I am interested in 20 of the jujube seedlings.
Also what variety of persimmon seedling?
I see you have 90 chromosome persimmon seeds cold stratified, which varieties?
I could send you my PayPal email so you could bill that way and not have the eBay fees
Tom
Both the seeds and seedlings are from many different 90 chromosome named plants. Nothing was separated sorry. I’ll shoot you a message and we can talk more
