( joo - JOOB )
At-A-Glance InformationThis genus of deciduous trees needs full sun and little to moderate water. They are native to China, and are known under the botanical name Ziziphus jujuba. Fruit is similar to dates, and trees reach 15-20 feet tall and 10-15 feet wide. Branches are gnarled, carrying glossy green leaves and clusters of small yellow flowers in spring and summer. Fruit matures in autumn, and can be eaten dried or straight off the tree. This is a great decorative tree, and grows well in zones 6-16, 18-24 and H1. (to find your zone, click here: Zone Map).
