The HJ seedling is about 3 feet tall. The fruits are on ,3 different branches. I will keep an update to see if the fruits stay red or change to different color towards harvest time.

The fruit on Baby Red does change when they mature. It turns more brown than red.

Wow! Was offline for just a few days, and sure missed a lot of stuff!
Our ‘black sea’ was obtained from burntridge nursery @castanea , and have had it for quite a while but still not sure if it is the real dealâ€Ļ
You sure have pretty red gems there @tonyOmahaz5 !
who’d have thought anybody can cultivate rubies in nebraska :wink:

Even though I planted it in 2015, it was a small tree from OGW, in a 1 gal pot. It took a long time to get going. This year it’s up to about 7’ tall and has put on good growth. Of course, it actually went down in production this year from a dozen or two to 4-5 fruit on the whole tree.

I’ve seen the occasional immature fruit colored, but that one is pretty bright. It also looks well protected by a lot of thorns.

Another study on nutrition of jujubes. This one has tables that does compare jujuba, mauritiana, and lotus. Most of it is over my head but the conclusions are very complimentary of jujubes to our health.

If this has already been posted then just know my memory is not as young as it once wasâ€Ļ.:wink:

There are supposed to be 3 mature jujube trees in Weston Gardens, southeast of Fort Worth, Texas. I have not seen them or photos of them, but they are supposed to be pretty old, and may have been trees distributed by the USDA facility in Chico, California before 1950.

Has anyone ever visited these trees? Any time I’ve been in the DFW area I think about checking them out, but I’m never there when the trees would have leaves or fruit. Right now would probably be a good time to check them out.

That’s the girl that got my website name!!! Lol. I had decided to use the name Just Jujubes and the justjujubes.com had just been taken. The website was not up yet but came up within a few weeks. I’ve seen videos of her farm before.

I have trouble getting jujubes to dry here. Some doâ€Ļ.SiHong does nearly always dries well. Many of the others swell and get juicy and mushy. Some even ooze bubblesâ€Ļ. :flushed::flushed::flushed:.

Will have to get that from you sometime.

I made this with fresh Li fruit. I have a steamer juicer that I used. It took a long time to juice them down but the resulting juice was fantastic. Used a low sugar apple jelly recipe to make the jelly

uh-oh, a juju catfight, haha
didn’t know you and her even had the same idea!

that’s a scary type of soft!

most definitely!

that is really awesome, and quite novel since most(if not all of us) here stick to just having jujus as fresh fruit or as dried dates. Even the justjujubes lady doesn’t offer it at her website

The Australian guy on a video someone here posted last year called the fruit, Joo-joob.

This lady called it Joo-joo-bee.

I read somewhere that Joo-joob is the name of the tree and fruit.
Joo-joo-bee is a candy.

That is a really old tree, and it is grafted. Someone in TEXAS needs to check it out. That probably is something from the Chico USDA. I wonder if the other two trees are still there.

I’m going to post this info in the FB group as well in the hope that someone will be able to check out this tree.

I laugh at this because my husband is British and the Brits consider Australians basically the rednecks of the British. So, to him, taking an Australian pronunciation of anything would be dubious at best!!! (But on the other hand he admits the English call the candies “Joo-Joobs”)
