- -Make sure to use sandy, well drained soil and choose a sunny spot.
- The tree can be propagated by seed or root sprout.
- Plant the seed or the root sprout directly in the ground, and amend with sandy, well drained soil.
- Mulch around to keep moisture.
- Be sure to plant in a location will little wind and lots of sun.
CARE:
- Apply a single application of nitrogen prior to the growing season to help with fruit production.
- Water regularly.
HARVESTING JUJUBES:
- Once the fruit has turned dark brown, it is ready to harvest!
- Alternatively, you can also leave the fruit on the tree until it has dried, so that is it more like a date.
- Cut the stem when harvesting rather than pulling the fruit from the vine.
- Store the fruits between 11-13C in a green fruit bag.
So now that you know how to grow jujube trees, it’s time to roll up your sleeves and get to planting!
