Everglades Farm
Having the texture and flavor of an apple, the jujube are often referred to as manzana or manzanita, meaning apple or little apple in Spanish. It is an important commercial fruit crop in Thailand, Vietnam and India, and it is grown on smaller scales throughout Malaysia and Australia. The trees are bush-like growing 15-30ft tall, with a weeping habit, and they will bear fruit at just two to three years of age. Jujubes are known to be extremely prolific producers. Thrives in well-drained soil with moderate watering and requires full sun (6-8 hours daily). Tolerates temperatures from -10°F to 100°F, USDA hardiness zones 6-10. Benefits from a balanced fertilizer in spring and should be pruned in late winter to maintain shape and to remove dead wood.
