It's amazing to see the range of food plants that can be grown in the arid country.<br />As far as the jujube goes we have a book called "The Complete Book of Fruit Growing in Australia" by Glowinski. It's been out for a few years so it should be available in the local library. It has 3 pages devoted to jujubes and they sound a worthwhile fruit to grow as it thrives in desert heat. The fruit is green when fully grown (a couple of cm in diameter with a stone. If left on the tree it will ripen further and resemble a reddish prune or date. However there are many varieties in the jujube family and some are not as fruitful as others.<br />CheersAndrew and Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08029553518516048788noreply@blogger.com
