Zizyphus jujube. One of the best Jujube varieties for fruit production, ‘Li’ bears rounded 2” fruit that slowly turn from green to purple to mahogany. These fruit-laden branches are in high demand for late summer bouquets (pair the branches in rustic Japanese jugs with copper beech, Clematis ‘Brunette’ and bronze and green fennel). Since the small and fragrant chartreuse flowers appear after most flowering fruit trees, crops are seldom affected by late Spring frosts. Zones 4-9. Trees grown in 5 gal containers and have been pruned to fit in 3’ tall boxes. We also have a few taller, unpruned specimens for local delivery in the San Francisco Bay Area. |
