Description
The fruit of the Honey Jar Jujube Tree is excellent tasting with an extremely juicy, extremely sweet apple-like flavor that wins annual taste tests in California. The Honey Jar Jujube fruit is a small, round, shiny, reddish-brown date-like fruit. Like the other jujube trees, it's drought tolerant, cold hardy, and is good for eating fresh or dried. Requires 200 chill hours and grows in zones 5-10. (Self-fertile, though yield and fruit size increase significantly with a cross-pollinator nearby.)

USDA Hardiness Zones
A hardiness zone is a geographic area defined by average annual minimum winter temperatures, helping gardeners determine which plants can survive in their region. Developed by the USDA, the 13 numerical zones indicate cold hardiness—for example, a plant "hardy to zone 10" tolerates minimum temperatures of 30 to 40 °F (−1.1 to 4.4 °C).
