- Our trees are shipped in a state called "semi-bareroot." We remove the soil around the root of the plant and replace it with a moisture retaining gel called Terrasorb. This keeps the roots moist during transit and lessens the weight of the tree for ease of planting when you receive it.
- The Jujube is 4-5 feet high and will ship by 4 ft x4inx4in box. Grows in zones: 4 - 10.
- Once you receive your trees, try to plant them as soon as possible. If a few days are needed, take the tree out of the box, leave the root wrap on, and place in a shady ventilated location.
- Planting Trees: Dig the hole two to three times as wide as the root system to allow loosened soil for new root growth. Fruit trees and berry plants like well drained soils so add 1/3 sand or pea gravel mixed in with the extracted soil is recommended for compact or heavy clay soils. Otherwise, a standard topsoil is good. The hole needs to be just deep enough so that the tree is planted at the same depth at which it was grown.
- For Spring Planting: Frequent watering is crucial for newly planted trees. Water your tree every other day for the first two weeks. For Fall Planting: Soak the tree at the time of planting, then again once a week for two or three weeks. The trees do not require much water throughout the winter months, therefore, to water every couple of weeks will be adequate until spring. Then increase your frequency to once a week, then twice a week in the summer.
- Starting available every March and quantities are limited, and will be sold out very fast.
