Ziziphus jujuba 'Tigertooth' Jujube – Potted Chinese Date Tree

Discover the exotic charm of the Tigertooth Jujube, a standout cultivar of the classic Chinese date tree (Ziziphus jujuba), now perfectly suited for patios, balconies, or small gardens in a premium potted form!

This vigorous, deciduous fruit tree is prized for its distinctive elongated, tooth-like fruits — slender, pointed, and often reaching 2–3 inches (5–7 cm) in length. Here's the magic of Tigertooth:

• When young and crisp, the fruit offers a refreshing apple-like crunch with sweet-tart notes.
• As it ripens to a rich reddish-brown, it transforms into a chewy, date-like delight — intensely sweet and perfect for fresh eating, drying, or candying.

he tree itself features glossy, oval green leaves, a moderately upright to slightly weeping growth habit, and is relatively thorn-free compared to wild types. In a pot, it can be easily maintained at 1.5–3 metres tall (or allowed to reach 4–6 metres in the ground), making it an ideal choice for container growing.

Tigertooth is prized for its reliability — often parthenocarpic (self-fertile without needing pollination), extremely drought-tolerant once established, and heat-loving. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, rewarding you with heavy crops of these rare, elongated treasures in mid to late season.

Bring home this conversation-starting, low-maintenance fruit tree — a true gourmet delight for fruit enthusiasts and collectors alike! 🌿🍎🥟
