Grow one of the finest fresh-eating jujubes with this Dong Jujube Tree (沾化冬枣 / テンカとうそう), a premium variety from Zhanhua, China, celebrated for its crisp texture, high sweetness, and exceptional flavor. Often considered one of the best jujubes for fresh consumption, this variety delivers a refreshing crunch similar to an apple with rich, sugary taste.

This bare root tree stands approximately 24–32 inches tall and is grafted onto wild jujube rootstock for enhanced vigor, adaptability, and resilience. With proper care, Dong Jujube can begin producing fruit very quickly—sometimes even in the first year after planting.

Ideal for home orchards and edible landscapes, this hardy and low-maintenance tree thrives in sunny locations and well-drained soil, making it a rewarding choice for growers of all experience levels.

You will receive a healthy dormant bare root tree ready for planting.
