Chinese jujube
Ziziphus jujuba
Chinese jujube is a tough, adaptable fruit tree that thrives in full sun and tolerates a wide range of soils, including poor and alkaline ones. Once established it is quite drought-tolerant and requires minimal fertilisation or pruning. Harvest the small, apple-like fruits in late summer to autumn when they turn from green to red-brown.
