I am out of what few I had this year but will have more next year. You might want to look at my website for more varieties of jujube (there is a list):
 
If you want a Honey Jar Jujube this winter then contact Roger Meyer at:
 His address:
Roger Meyer
16531 Mt Shelly
Fountain Valley, CA 
92708
The better varieties (in my opinion) have a Four Star rating on my website. The "Honey Jar" variety is one of the best for fresh eating, but if you want a variety for processing then "Lang" is the best variety. The largest variety is "Shanxi Li".
Hope this helps-

Is this jujube in the pot a Li or a Lang? Lang will sometimes fruit when very small. Many jujubes are self-fruitful (there are a few that are only practically self-fruitful). Honey Jar is another jujube that will normally fruit when very small and is the most dependable for this characteristic.

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...
