It probably will produce an edible jujube.  A friend has a mature tree grown 
from seed with large fruit although they don't come true from seed.  They are 
easy to whip graft in the spring with dormant wood.  My first try was 100% 
successful and I now have So and sugarcane trees on sucker rootstock.  You 
will need two for good pollination.
