They won’t all germinate and then there will be deaths 
. Usually I end up with ~50% as plants. The very best of those will be kept to see what fruit they make and the others will be used as rootstock.

Thank you very much, how many seeds does $4.75/pkt include?
Good question, I honestly don’t remember. I think I ordered 2 packets and ended up with about 18 plants.
Englands also sells some
I’m currently in Vietnam and I don’t know if I can survive growing it?
Ziziphus jujuba will likely survive if grown in highlands of vietnam, or where there are 4 seasons. It may even thrive in subtropical areas but might not be as productive if location gets less than 150 hrs of winter chill

Do you have any information about sour jujube trees used to make rootstock for jujube trees? Is it wild apple or Xinjiang jujube? Thanks.
well you could just use indian jujube(Ziziphus mauritiana) as rootstock, since they are supposedly compatible(have never tried it) This way you are assured you have a productive indian jujube if for any reason the chinese jujube grafts don’t perform
