It's very impressive how it fruited... I actually got it while in fruit... from Edible Landscaping... I have a large Li jujube in my yard that been blooming for 2 years but no fruit... But this one was grown at edible landscaping greenhouse... Mik mcconky said he didn't have any jujubes close by in same greenhouse... and no pollinators..

Li suppose to be partially self-fertile... I didn't see it produce.. so I ended up planting another variety next to it.. which is Lang. It's amazing that Mike had other jujubes that fruited in a pot... I've also seen someone else has a tree that fruited in a container... What I'm guessing is... rain will hinder the fruiting. so if it's in a greenhouse... the pollen won't be damaged by rain... Another thing could be humidity... low humidity may have a factor...
