{"product_id":"jujube-lang-standard","title":"Lang Jujube Tree","description":"\u003cp\u003eLang is a classic drying jujube, valued for pear-shaped fruit that develops its richest character after it wrinkles and cures. The medium-to-large fruit begins green, turns reddish brown, and has firm flesh with mild sweetness when fresh. As it dries, the texture becomes soft and chewy while the flavor deepens into the warm, concentrated character associated with Chinese dates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat transformation makes Lang especially useful for long-term storage, baking, tea, soups, and traditional recipes, though partially dried fruit can also be enjoyed as a snack. The tree is durable, productive, and attractive, with fine foliage and late spring flowers that help it avoid some early frost problems. Its tolerance of heat, drought, and varied soils makes it a practical choice for challenging orchard sites. For gardeners interested in preserving and cooking with jujubes, Lang provides a dependable crop designed for exactly that purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant in full sun and well-drained soil with space for a standard tree. Train a strong framework while young and prune for airflow and harvesting access. Established trees tolerate dry conditions, though steady moisture during fruit development supports crop quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLang requires Li or another compatible jujube for reliable pollination. Pairing it with a strong fresh-eating variety also creates a useful orchard combination: crisp fruit for immediate enjoyment and Lang fruit for drying and storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLang Jujube Tree Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFruit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium-to-large, pear-shaped fruit that ripens reddish brown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlavor and texture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Firm and mildly sweet fresh; soft, chewy, and richly flavored when dried\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest uses:\u003c\/strong\u003e Drying, storage, baking, tea, soups, and traditional recipes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late August to mid-October, with timing varying by region and season\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5–10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChill hours:\u003c\/strong\u003e About 100 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTree size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollination:\u003c\/strong\u003e Requires Li or another compatible jujube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended pollinizers or companions:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/products\/jujube-li-standard\"\u003eLi\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/jujube-honey-jar-std-tr\"\u003eHoney Jar\u003c\/a\u003e, or \u003ca href=\"\/products\/jujube-sugar-cane-std-tr\"\u003eSugar Cane\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial care:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plant with a compatible jujube and allow fruit to wrinkle for the best dried quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSomething Special:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lang was among the Chinese jujube cultivars introduced to the United States through federal plant-exploration work in the early twentieth century.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOrchard Planning Resources\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/articles\/bare-root-tree-selection-guide\"\u003eBare Root Tree Selection Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/articles\/planting-bare-root-trees-for-beginners-a-comprehensive-guide\"\u003eHow to Plant Bare Root Trees\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/1Rdt4TYt4fE0vpvNhXDgewxzwx4hg8xQc8_14DbtDKNc\/edit?usp=drivesdk\"\u003eFruit and Nut Tree Characteristics\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/e\/2PACX-1vRTawkXXtycdiTxe58p-gVjdAzuxvNCc7sZ9wri56m0rgvBQIbRObXuK2hSdDHL08ev0R3uzcupme6D\/pubhtml\"\u003eTree Rootstock Characteristics Chart\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Grow Organic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21543323107441,"sku":"FT245","price":74.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/1391\/9089\/files\/FT245.jpg?v=1747085915","url":"https:\/\/www.groworganic.mom\/products\/jujube-lang-standard","provider":"Grow Organic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
