Re: [nafex] Jujube

Richard,

Is there a nursery that sells the trees from Norris Dam?

The recommendation I received was to
plant trees known to fruit in a
climate similar to your own, particularly during times of
pollen shedding.

There are many jujube cultivars from various parts of the
far east, which
have had many long years to adapt to microclimates within
their native
range.

The majority of my trees are from the Norris Dam planting
several counties
west of me, where about 50 cultivars were planted about 70
years ago, and I
have rooted suckers from the survivors with good quality
fruit.

We get thousands of fruit per tree per year from the
above.  Compared to
dozens per tree from Li or Lang, in a good year for
them.  All planted in
the same row.  I can't explain why, other than to
repeat what I've heard
(and now observed), that certain jujubes fruit MUCH better
in some places
than others.

If someone is aware of certain cultivars which fruit heavily
and regularly
in a wide variety of settings throughout the US, including
arid and humid,
please chime in.

Thanks,
Richard
