I am growing what may be a new variety with large fruit. It's also supposed purported as "thornless", and as it is not completely thornless, if you compare it to any of the other jujubes i've seen, I guess you could call it that. It's heavily fruiting and flowering now, so I'll know shortly if its something special. On another note, I've never seen a tree grow as fast as this....It's almost unbelievable. I planted it as a 12" tall stick in February, no leaves or branches. It is not 8-9 feet tall, 6-8 feet wide, and must have 100+ fruit on it and countless flowers. We are talking 8 months
