Jujube Trees

Sweet, crisp fruit with exceptional heat and drought tolerance.

Jujube, also known as Chinese date, is a tough, sun-loving fruit tree prized for its sweet, apple-like crunch when fresh and chewy, date-like richness when dried. It thrives in hot summers, handles low water once established, and fits beautifully in Bay Area gardens that get plenty of sun.

These trees are a smart choice for homeowners who want reliable fruit, minimal fuss, and a plant that shrugs off heat waves. With proper pruning and full sun, jujube can become a long-lived backyard producer with unique, conversation-starting fruit.

Frequently asked questions

Do these trees do well in the Bay Area?
Yes—especially in full sun with a warm exposure. They tend to perform best in inland and warmer microclimates, but many coastal gardens succeed with the right placement.

How much sun is needed?
Full sun is strongly recommended for best growth and fruit quality. Aim for a bright, open location with minimal shade.

How often should I water after planting?
Water regularly during the establishment period so roots expand into the native soil. After establishment, deep watering on a less frequent schedule is usually effective, depending on your soil and summer heat.

When will it start producing fruit?
Many trees begin producing within a few seasons under good conditions, with stronger yields as the tree matures and is properly pruned.

Is the fruit eaten fresh or dried?
Both. Fresh fruit is crisp and sweet; dried fruit becomes chewy and rich, making it great for snacks, tea, and cooking.

Do you deliver, and how does delivery work?
Yes. We deliver across much of the Bay Area. Delivery fees and timing depend on your location, order size, and seasonal routing. You’ll see available options during checkout or in your order confirmation.

Can I choose a delivery date?
In many cases, we can coordinate a preferred window. After your order is placed, we’ll confirm routing and the next available delivery schedule.

What if my space is limited?
You can keep trees smaller with pruning and training. Choose a sunny spot and plan for manageable canopy size through annual maintenance.
