Jujube - fresh fruit
Fresh jujube fruit is delicious. But it does not keep very long (about 10 days). The best way to ensure the freshest fruit is to order by phone and arrange to collect from the nursery at an agreed time. We will pick to your order and you will get the best fruit possible.
Season 2023 has finished. Please phone to express an interest for next the crop and we will call you in autumn 2024 when the fruit is at its best.
Ring 08 8383 0268 soon to order for 2024.
This fruit is delicious. The flesh is crisp and light green in colour. They are perfectly ripe when fully golden brown but are generally picked with some green still showing. The fruit tastes more like a little apple than anything else we are used to but has a special lively flavour of its own. There is one seed. They can be kept quite well in the fridge for several weeks. Our crop ripens in March and April
