Taste: Known for its delicious sweetness and honey-like flavor, Lang jujubes are perfect for snacking or adding to a variety of dishes.
Ripening Time: The Lang jujube fruit ripens in late summer to early fall, typically around August to September.

How to Plant & Grow Lang Jujube Trees

Sun Requirements 🌞: Full sun for at least 6-8 hours per day to ensure healthy fruit production and growth.
Soil Requirements 🌿: Prefers well-draining, slightly alkaline soil (pH 7.0-8.0). The soil should be rich in organic matter to support robust root development.
Spacing 🌳: Space trees 10-15 feet apart to provide ample room for growth and airflow.
Mature Size 🌳: The Lang Jujube Tree typically grows to a height of 15-20 feet, making it a great fit for small to medium-sized gardens and orchards.

Step-by-Step Planting Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Soil 🧑‍🌾: Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil. Amend the soil with compost to improve fertility and drainage.
2️⃣ Dig a Hole 🕳️: Dig a hole that is twice the size of the root ball to provide the roots ample space to expand.
3️⃣ Position the Plant 🌿: Place the tree in the hole, ensuring that the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil.
4️⃣ Backfill & Water 💧: Fill the hole with soil, pressing it gently to remove air pockets, and water thoroughly to help settle the roots.
5️⃣ Mulch Around the Base 🌱: Apply mulch or Weed Pro Weed Mats around the base of the tree to retain moisture and suppress weed growth.

Ongoing Care & Maintenance

Watering 💧: Water the tree regularly during the first year of planting. Once established, water deeply once a week during dry spells.
Pruning ✂️: Prune during the dormant season to remove dead or damaged branches and to shape the tree for better airflow and sunlight exposure.
Fertilizing 🍃: Apply Nutra-Pro 1st Year Fertilizer Paks during the first year to support strong root development. For mature trees, apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring.
Protection 🛡️: Use Max Growth Tree Shelters to protect the young tree from pests and extreme weather 🌳🛡️.
