A hardy fruit tree known for its large, crisp, and sweet fruit with an apple-like texture. Thrives in sandy, well-draining soil and is highly drought-tolerant once established. Blooms in late spring, producing fragrant, small yellow flowers that attract pollinators. It is self-fertile but benefits from cross-pollination with another jujube variety for improved yield. Fruit is excellent fresh or dried.
