The Tiger Tooth Jujube stands out with its unique, long, and slender fruit shape, resembling an animal's canine tooth. It offers a crisp, apple-like flavor when harvested fresh at the right stage, and transforms into a treat with rich, maple-syrup notes when dried, providing two distinct eating experiences.

Produces distinctive, long, thin, reddish-brown fruit resembling a tiger‘s tooth.
Flesh is crisp with a pleasant, apple-like flavor when harvested semi-green; develops a rich, maple-syrup sweetness when dried.
A unique dual-stage harvest variety: best for fresh eating when half-green/half-brown, and for drying when fully mature.
A hardy, deciduous tree with the typical jujube resilience to drought and pests.
Self-pollinating but produces better with a cross-pollinator.
Excellent for snacking, baking, or making distinctive dried fruit with a complex flavor.

Flavor Profile:

Flavor (Fresh): Crisp, mildly sweet, and refreshing with apple-like notes.
Flavor (Dried): Rich, deep, and complex with pronounced maple or caramelized sugar notes.
Texture: Very crisp when fresh; chewy and dense when dried.
Best Uses: Harvest at two stages: for a unique fresh, crisp snack, or for drying into exceptionally flavorful treats.

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: When should I pick them for fresh eating?A: For the prized crisp, apple-like texture and flavor, harvest when the fruit is half green and half brown. If left to fully ripen to all brown, the texture softens and is better for drying.
Q: What makes the dried flavor special?A: When fully matured and dried, Tiger Tooth jujubes are known for developing a unique, rich flavor often described as reminiscent of maple syrup or brown sugar, which is distinct from other varieties.
Q: Is it a heavy producer?A: It is a reliable producer, and its unique fruit shape makes it a fun and productive addition to a home orchard.
