Where I can buy Chinese Jujube plants?

[How-Hie Ling]

Hi,

I live in Brisbane and a keen grower of exotic fruit trees. One of the
few trees which I haven't got and which I truly wish to grow is a
Chinese Jujube tree, either a Li or Lang variety. Does any one know
where I can buy it in Brisbane or in other states?
Please give name and contact details of the nursery.

Also, I would like to hear from people in Brisbane who are growing it.

Thanks

The only on-line nursery that I know of in Australia that sells the
Chinese jujube is Perry's nursery in SA. http://www.users.on.net/perrys/
I'm not sure what varieties they carry.

We got a Chinese Jujube seedling from Diggers Seeds. I don't have
their catalogue details, but you should be able to find them on the
web.

Good luck,
Tish

Hi,

Check with the Department of natural Resources before planting. I
believe at least one of the jujubes is regarded as a weed in
Queensland. That said, my father in law at a jujube (I cannot remember
which species) in Brisbane. It tended to get a fungus disease and did
not set fruit, so he cut it down.

I had a look before initially replying as I seemed to remember the
same thing. It's the Indian jujube, not the Chinese that's the
problem.
