Sherwood Jujube Tree – Sweet, Resilient Fruit for Your Garden πŸ‡πŸŒ³

The Sherwood Jujube Tree is a remarkable variety known for its sweet, date-like fruit that offers a delicious and unique taste experience. This tree is ideal for gardeners looking for easy-to-grow, hardy fruit that thrives in a variety of climates. The Sherwood jujube is self-pollinating, so you don’t need multiple trees to produce fruit, although planting more can help increase the yield. Its fruit ripens in late summer to fall, offering a late-season harvest of sweet, juicy jujubes that are perfect for fresh consumption, drying, or making preserves. Known for its high resistance to pests and drought, the Sherwood Jujube Tree is an excellent choice for sustainable gardening, providing nutritious, chemical-free fruit for snacking or culinary use.


USDA Growing Zones and Chill Hours

  • Thrives in USDA Zones 5-10
  • Requires minimal chill hours, making it perfect for warmer climates with mild winters ❄️

Pollination & Fruit Production

  • Pollination: The Sherwood Jujube Tree is self-pollinating, so it doesn’t require another tree to produce fruit. Planting additional trees can improve yield and fruit size.
  • Recommended Varieties: Although the tree is self-pollinating, planting other varieties such as Li or Lang will enhance fruit production and improve pollination.
  • Fruit Description: The Sherwood Jujube produces small, round fruit with a reddish-brown color. The flesh is firm with a sweet, slightly tart flavor.
  • Taste: Sherwood jujubes are known for their delicate sweetness and subtle flavor, making them perfect for fresh eating, drying, or culinary use.
  • Ripening Time: The fruit ripens in late summer to early fall, typically between August and September, providing a late-season harvest of nutritious fruit.

How to Plant & Grow Sherwood Jujube Trees

  • Sun Requirements 🌞: Full sun is essential, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day for optimal fruit production and tree growth.
  • Soil Requirements 🌿: Prefers well-draining, slightly alkaline soil (pH 7.0-8.0). Enrich the soil with organic material to promote strong growth.
  • Spacing 🌳: Space trees 10-12 feet apart to provide ample room for growth and ensure proper air circulation.
  • Mature Size 🌳: The Sherwood Jujube Tree typically grows to a height of 12-20 feet, making it perfect for medium to large-sized gardens or orchards.

Step-by-Step Planting Instructions

  • 1️⃣ Prepare the Soil πŸ§‘β€πŸŒΎ: Choose a location with well-draining, slightly alkaline soil. Amend with compost or organic matter to improve fertility and ensure strong growth.
  • 2️⃣ Dig a Hole πŸ•³οΈ: Dig a hole that is twice as wide and deep as the root ball to allow for proper root expansion and establishment.
  • 3️⃣ Position the Plant 🌿: Place the tree in the hole, ensuring that the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil surface.
  • 4️⃣ Backfill & Water πŸ’§: Fill the hole with soil, press gently to remove air pockets, and water thoroughly to settle the roots.
  • 5️⃣ Mulch Around the Base 🌱: Apply mulch or Weed Pro Weed Mats around the base to retain moisture and prevent weed competition.

Ongoing Care & Maintenance

  • Watering πŸ’§: Keep the soil consistently moist during the first year of planting. Once established, water deeply once a week, especially during dry spells.
  • Pruning βœ‚οΈ: Prune the tree in early spring or late winter to remove dead or damaged wood. Pruning helps improve air circulation and encourages better fruit production.
  • Fertilizing πŸƒ: Use Nutra-Pro 1st Year Fertilizer Paks to promote strong root growth. For mature trees, apply a balanced fertilizer annually in early spring to support fruiting.
  • Protection πŸ›‘οΈ: Use Max Growth Tree Shelters to protect young trees from pests, animals, and extreme weather πŸŒ³πŸ›‘οΈ.

Ripening Time, Taste & Uses

  • Ripens in late summer to early fall, typically from August to September.
  • Sweet, slightly tangy fruit πŸ‡ with a firm texture and a honey-like flavor that is perfect for fresh snacking.
  • Great for eating fresh, making jujube syrup, jams, or using in savory dishes like jujube-glazed meats πŸ‡πŸ―.
