  • Requires minimal chill hours, making it ideal for regions with mild winters ๐ŸŒž

Pollination & Fruit Production

  • Pollination: The Georgia 866 Jujube Tree is self-pollinating, so you donโ€™t need another tree to produce fruit. However, planting multiple trees can increase the yield and improve the quality of fruit.
  • Recommended Varieties: While self-pollinating, planting other jujube varieties such as Li or Sugar Cane can improve pollination and result in larger, more flavorful fruit.
  • Fruit Description: The jujube fruits produced by this tree are small, round, and reddish-brown when ripe, with a sweet and tangy taste thatโ€™s often compared to dates and apples.
  • Taste: Known for their rich sweetness and slightly tart undertones, these jujubes are perfect for eating fresh, drying for snacks, or using in savory dishes.
  • Ripening Time: The fruit ripens in late summer to early fall, typically between August and September, providing a late-summer harvest.

  • Spacing ๐ŸŒณ: Space trees 10-15 feet apart to ensure proper airflow and adequate room for growth.
