Very narrow single trunk tree. A compact grower ideal for small yards, tight spaces, corner spots...Landscape designers desire the 'Chang' variety of Jujube for its "space saving sculpted shape". Low maintenance and easy to grow. After established, fertilize only once a year! Fruit is very sweet and crispy. Considered by some experts to be the best quality jujube available! Fruit is excellent dried and can be stored for years! Very high health benefits! Used as a food and medicinally by the Chinese for hundreds of years. Considered a blood purifier! Make a healthy delicious Korean hot tea called "Techu Cha". Wonderful to drink during cold winter months. Drink this hot beverage instead of coffee; your body will thank you. Fruit size large to 3" long! Perfect snack size for kids and not messy to eat with only one seed per fruit;(just tell them action movie star Jet Li tries to eat this fruit every day). Was rated #1 in Taiwan. This one is a winner. Available in 5,10,15 gallon sizes.
