Description Jujube is a small, deciduous, erect tree growing up to 5-10 m high, spinose or unarmed with brown to gray-brown bark and spreading often drooping branches. It is normally found growing in warm, sunny location and can tolerate many types of soils, but prefers sandy, well-drained soils and does less well in heavy, poorly drained soil. They can grow in soils with high salinity or high alkalinity. It does not perform well in heavy, poorly drained soils. Leaves Leaves are small, ovate or oval and are 1-2 inches long and a shiny bright green. During autumn, the leaves turn bright yellow before falling. There are commonly two spines at the base of each leaf. Some spines may be hooked while others are long daggers. Nearly thorn less cultivars is known. As the growing season begins, each node of a woody branch produces one to ten branchlets. Most of these are deciduous, falling from the plant in autumn. Flowers Flowers are inconspicuous, 1/5 inch diameter; white to greenish-yellow colored somewhat fragrant and produced in large numbers in the leaf axils. The flowering period extends over several months from late spring into summer. Though, individual flowers are receptive to pollen for only one day or less. Pollination is done by ants or other insects and possibly by the wind. Most jujube cultivars produce fruit without cross-pollination. The jujube is well protected from late spring frosts by delayed budding till all chance of cold weather has passed. Fruit Fruit is a drupe, varying from round to elongate and from cherry-size to plum-size depending on cultivar. It has a thin, edible skin surrounding creamy white fleshy, thick flesh of sweet, amenable flavor. In the middle of the fruit, single hard stone can be found which contains two seeds. The immature fruit is green in color, but as it ripens it goes through a yellow-green stage with mahogany-colored spots appearing on the skin as the fruit ripens further. The fully mature fruit is entirely red. Shortly after becoming fully red, the fruit begins to soften and wrinkle. The fruit can be eaten after it becomes wrinkled, but most people prefer them during the interval between the yellow-green stage and the full red stage. At this stage the flesh is crunchy and sweet, reminiscent of an apple. Under dry conditions jujubes lose moisture, shrink and become spongy inside. Research in Russia indicates very high vitamin C content. The fruit has been used medicinally for millennia by many cultures. One of its most popular uses is as a tea for sore throat.
