My "Thai Giant" Indian jujube trees are producing very small fruit this year. They are not much bigger than large olives. While my jujubes typically aren't huge, this year's crop is very disappointing. The trees seem healthy and are aggressively pruned back every summer. Is there anything that can be done to encourage these trees to produce larger fruit?
Yah, check fertilization.

I bought the house with a giant Jujube on the land -- the trunk now is around 16" dia and my estimate it is over 60 yrs old. I never prune it and every year I collected 40 lbs + dried fruits even thought I let the migratory song spiral birds filling up their tanks before making long winter trip to south. Why prune? The only issue with this tree is the thorny suckers popping up. I guess it is a grafted tree and it has no thorns above the graft line.
