Bring world-renowned flavor to your fruit tree collection with this 4-pack of MicroStarts' GA-866 Jujube starter plants. Jujube 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.

When shipped, starter plants measure 1–2 inches tall and will need attentive care to establish, but with time, will grow into mature, fruit-bearing jujube trees.

Jujube GA 866 produce large, elongated fruit (~1.5”) with a sweet, apple-like flavor.
