{"product_id":"jujube-shanxi-li-std-tr","title":"Jujube Shanxi Li Tree","description":"\u003cp\u003eShanxi Li is a showpiece jujube, producing extra-large fruit with the crisp bite and honeyed apple flavor that make fresh jujubes so appealing. The rounded fruit can reach impressive size, coloring from green to glossy reddish brown as it ripens. At the crisp stage, its firm, juicy flesh offers sweetness with a mild tang; later, the fruit can be dried into a chewy snack with deeper, date-like richness. Its size makes each piece satisfying for fresh eating and especially useful for slicing, drying, baking, or adding to autumn platters. Small fragrant flowers and glossy leaves give the tree a refined appearance, while its tolerance of heat and dry conditions makes it surprisingly resilient. For gardeners who want jujube fruit with visual impact as well as excellent eating quality, Shanxi Li brings together scale, crunch, sweetness, and dependable orchard character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant in full sun and well-drained soil with space for a standard tree. Jujubes are adaptable once established, but consistent water during fruit development encourages larger fruit. Train young branches into a strong framework and prune for light, airflow, and convenient harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShanxi Li is self-fruitful and can produce as a single tree. A second jujube can increase pollinator traffic and may improve production while adding a smaller, earlier, or sweeter fruit to the harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eJujube Shanxi Li Tree Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFruit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Extra-large, round fruit that ripens glossy reddish brown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlavor and texture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Crisp, juicy, sweet, and mildly tangy when fresh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest uses:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fresh eating, slicing, drying, baking, and storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late September, with timing varying by region and season\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5–9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChill hours:\u003c\/strong\u003e About 200 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 Self-fruitful; another jujube can encourage more pollinator activity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended pollinizers or companions:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/products\/jujube-honey-jar-std-tr\"\u003eHoney Jar\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/jujube-li-standard\"\u003eLi\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 Full sun, excellent drainage, structural pruning, and steady water while fruit sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSomething Special:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shanxi Li takes its name from China’s Shanxi Province, an important historic center of jujube cultivation.\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":21549085425777,"sku":"FT244","price":74.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/1391\/9089\/files\/FT244800.jpg?v=1747082203","url":"https:\/\/www.groworganic.mom\/products\/jujube-shanxi-li-std-tr","provider":"Grow Organic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
