Fruit Trees & Edibles

Ziziphus jujuba 'GA-866' - Red Date, Jujube GA-866

GA-866 jujube is a small deciduous tree valued for its exceptionally large, elongated fruit with dense, crisp flesh and one of the highest sugar contents of any named jujube variety. The reddish-brown, date-like fruit has a sweet, apple-like flavor eaten fresh or dried into chewy, date-textured snacks. Bred at a USDA research station in Chico, CA, it thrives in hot summer climates and is a favorite for home orchards and specialty growers.
