Thai Jujube Tree 7G

Thai Jujube Tree in 7-Gallon Pot available in Jupiter, FL.

Crisp, sweet, and delightfully refreshing—the Thai Jujube Tree (Ziziphus mauritiana) in a 7-gallon pot is a tropical fruit favorite known for its apple-like crunch, honeyed flavor, and reliable productivity in warm climates like South Florida. Also called Indian Jujube or “Apple Jujube,” this heat-loving tree thrives with minimal fuss and delivers fruit that’s perfect for fresh snacking, juicing, or drying.

Fast-growing and drought-tolerant, this 7-gallon tree is a fantastic starter size for home orchards or edible landscapes that crave something unique and delicious.

Care & Growing Info (Optimized for South Florida):

• Sunlight: Requires full sun for best fruiting—at least 6–8 hours of direct light per day. Loves heat and thrives in wide-open areas with good air circulation.

• Watering: Water regularly during establishment, then reduce. Once mature, Thai Jujube becomes extremely drought-tolerant and prefers dry conditions between deep waterings.

• Soil: Tolerates a wide range of soils, from sandy to loamy, as long as they’re well-draining. Ideal for South Florida’s coastal and inland conditions.

• Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced fruit tree fertilizer 2–3 times per year. Avoid overfeeding; this tree performs well even in lean soils.

• Growth Habit: Upright and spreading with shiny green leaves and light-colored bark. In a 7-gallon pot, it typically reaches 3–5 feet tall, with vigorous growth once planted in-ground.

• Temperature: Best for USDA Zones 9B–11. Perfectly adapted to South Florida’s subtropical climate. Handles extreme heat, poor soils, and even occasional salt spray.

• Maintenance: Very low. Prune to shape and remove thorns if desired. Pest-resistant and resilient once established.

Fruit Notes: Produces round to oval green fruit that ripen to a golden or amber color. Crisp texture and sweet-tart flavor when fresh; softens when dried. Commonly eaten fresh, pickled, or sun-dried.
