Jujube GA-866
Product Details
Jujube ziziphus 'GA-866' is a standout variety prized for its exceptionally high sugar content and dense, flavorful flesh. Jujubes are small deciduous trees with shiny green leaves and small flowers. Unlike many jujubes, its fruit is long and slender with a chewy texture when dried, making it one of the best cultivars for drying and fresh eating alike. This variety ripens in late summer to early fall and is known for producing abundant crops even in hot, dry climates. With its reputation for top-tier fruit quality, GA-866 is a premium choice for both home orchards and specialty growers.
MicroStarts jujube GA 866 are available as 2-4 inch starter plants. Jujube trees shipped in winter are naturally leafless and dormant, ready to burst back to life with fresh growth in spring!
Jujube GA 866 produce large, elongated fruit (~1.5”) with a sweet, apple-like flavor.
Our plants are propagated via tissue culture, a clonal process that results in true to type, disease-free plants that are grown on their own roots. They have been grown in ellepots to promote healthy root development.

Planting Care
All of our plants are carefully raised in a greenhouse for a strong, healthy start. Starter plants arrive actively growing, ready for gentle acclimation to their new home. Winter-shipped trees come dormant and leafless, conserving energy to burst into life in spring. Gradually introducing trees to the outdoors and giving light winter protection in colder climates ensures they thrive for years to come.
