For local plant professionals, we’re always glad to connect and explore ways to support your customers.

The Lang Jujube is a distinctive and highly productive variety known for its large, pear-shaped fruit and dry, crisp flesh. It is a classic drying and storage jujube, valued for its robust "jujube" flavor and ability to produce heavy crops on a hardy, trouble-free tree.

Produces large, pear-shaped, reddish-brown fruit with a small pit.
Flesh is white, dry, sweet, and slightly spongy with a strong, classic jujube taste.
An excellent variety for fresh eating when crisp, and for drying where it develops a chewy, flavorful texture.
A hardy, productive, deciduous tree known for its reliability and adaptability.
Self-fruitful but benefits from cross-pollination for heavier yields.
Fruit stores very well either left on the tree to partially dry or harvested and dried indoors.

Flavor Profile:

Flavor: Sweet with a pronounced, traditional jujube flavor that is less juicy but very aromatic.
Texture: Crisp and slightly coarse when fresh; becomes tough, chewy, and satisfying when dried.
Best Uses: A dual-purpose favorite. Enjoy it crisp for a fresh snack, or dry it for long-term storage and a rich, chewy treat.

Knowing how we measure the size?

When browsing our plants, you may notice size terms such as Gallon, Multi, or Stand. These describe how a plant is grown, containerized, or structured at the time of sale — not just its height. Understanding these terms will help you choose the right plant for your space and expectations.

🌱 Gallon Size (Container Size)

Gallon refers to the size of the nursery container the plant is currently growing in (e.g. 1 Gallon, 5 Gallon, 15 Gallon).

A larger gallon size generally means:
- A more established root system
- A sturdier plant
- Faster visual impact after planting
Example:
- 5 Gallon: Ideal for residential gardens, easy to handle, good balance of value and maturity
- 15 Gallon: More mature, provides quicker results in the landscape

Note: Gallon size does not guarantee a specific height, as growth varies by species.

🌳 Multi (Multi-Trunk / Multi-Branch Form)

Multi indicates the plant has multiple trunks or main stems growing from the base.

Commonly used for:
- Ornamental trees
- Feature plants
- Japanese maples, olives, crepe myrtles, etc.
Why choose Multi:
- Fuller, more sculptural appearance
- Strong visual presence even at younger ages
- Popular for design-focused landscapes

🌲 Stand (Single-Trunk / Standard Form)

Stand (short for Standard) refers to a single, dominant trunk with a raised or naturally formed canopy.

Commonly used for:
- Shade trees
- Street trees
- Orchard and structural plantings
Why choose Stand:
- Clean, classic tree form
- Easier clearance for walkways and lawns
- Preferred for long-term structure and uniformity

🌿 Choosing the Right Size

If you want instant impact → larger Gallon, Multi form
If you want long-term structure → Stand form
If you want flexibility and value → mid-size Gallon containers

If you’re unsure which size or form fits your project, our team is happy to help you select the best option based on your space, timeline, and design goals.

Q: Is Lang a good pollinator for other varieties?A: Yes, it is an excellent pollenizer and is often recommended specifically as a pollinator partner for the ‘Dragon‘ jujube variety to increase its yield.
Q: What does “dry“ flesh mean?A: Compared to varieties like ‘GA866‘ or ‘Sugar Cane‘, the flesh of Lang has less free moisture when fresh, making it crisper and more suitable for certain drying applications where a meatier texture is desired.
Q: How do I use dried Lang jujubes?A: They are perfect as a healthy snack, chopped into trail mix, baked into breads, or used in teas and soups for a natural sweetness.
