Do you have the source image? Both the leaves and the fruit can be helpful for identifying. Also where the person is from may give a hint

I saw a lot of jujube trees at Englands Orchard this fall… none looked like that.

Some had pretty good fruit set… but nothing like that.

If it’s from Yunnan then maybe one of the varieties from the Jinsi group, e.g. Jinsi 4 or maybe a Bing Tang. They’re both commercial cultivars over there with that particular shape. It looks too oblong to be a Dongzao.
