Ziziphus mauritiana (Indian jujube) - grafted varieties available in the US

(1/8) > >>

murahilin:
Other than 'Thai Giant', what other varieties are available in the US?

I grew up eating this in Bangladesh, called “boroi” or “ber”. It’s initially green and sour but then ripens to yellow/orange color; flavor changes to a sweet+sour taste, mealy consistency with a musky smell. You can eat it just by itself or put some salt, cilantro, pepper and mash it up to make a chutney type of snack. Very common in Indian subcontinent. The below is the only website I’ve ever seen this for sale  as it is otherwise difficult to find.

Are you asking what other Chinese jujube varieties are available, like Li, Sugarcane, Honey Jar, etc?
Just checkout Marta's webpage she sells them all.

If it's only Indian variety you are looking for, I do know a guy who has a huge tree which fruits, but he never seems to be able to give me a ripe fruit.





I can get you cuttings of this one, we can trade, you send me some good mango scions.

He tells me his wife likes this fruit a lot. I don't think he eats many of the fruits, it's for his wife. If anyone else wants scions, then let me know what you have for trade. I should go visit him to see if any fruits are ready to pick.

I tried the green Indian jujube when I was in India, and while it was decent I would prefer a grocery store (malus) apple over it any day.  How do the chinese types compare?
