I want to put in a jujube - are they or aren't they
self-fertile?  Some sources say you need two, some 
say you're okay with one.  I may put in a second one 
later but I'd rather wait and see how I like the fruit
and how well it does here...it should do fine, we 
have long hot summers, but the soil is clay - the 
spot I've got is well drained but those sort of 
spots are limited and I have to fit in a peach and 
fig. 

If I do need two, would they do well planted in the
same hole, or 1' apart, and pruned and treated as one 
tree?  Peaches or cornelian cherry would have air 
circulation problems planted like that, is that 
right?  We have lots of wind so I'm not overly 
worried, but the winters are very wet.
