Liz, I haven't been able to find all that much specifically on jujube in living fences application, just several ref's to the fact that it has been so used in China and other parts of Asia.
The friend who mentioned the fuel alcohol potential has supplied Hidden Spring Nursery in Tennessee with high-production varieties. I have some on order for the fall.

An interesting option for feedstock for fuel alcohol: jujube. I planted

Thanks for the rec on jujubes. I had been planning on buying a couple just for the berries, and didn't realize they would also make a good living fence. Now I may buy more than a couple of them. Hope you'll keep us updated on the fuel aspect.
