Jujubes- Our New Adventure

This is from China and they say it’s a red date (chinese jujube). The name they call it is dai-qi-sheng.

Wow, you have an absolute novelty!
Makes me want to open up a gofundme account to pay for a genome study :slight_smile:

btw, there are tropical/subtropical parts in China where Thai/Indian jujubes can be grown and some cultivars are actually native to china.

The fruit shape and seed do not look like any mauritiana that I have ever encountered.

My friend who was from Yunnan, which is quite southern China said there are Chinese jujubes esp. the donut shape ones common in her area.

Fruit traits: The red jujube fruit in the fetus is large and obovate, and the lower part is slightly pointed. The young fruit is purple-red, then turns pink, and when ripe, the fruit is purple-red and the shade is pink. The fruit weight is 9 grams and the maximum is 15 grams.
