I need to correct one thing. When I said that the dry areas of this country are better suited for jujubes, I did not mean that there are not varieties of jujubes that will bear in the more humid areas because there are; its just that you are more limited as to varieties in the humid areas.

Humidity has as much to do with different varieties of jujube bearing as
does cold hardiness zones. I am talking about humidity during the blooming
time. Each variety was developed in China to fit a particular area over many
100 years. We in this country are just now finding out where different
varieties will grow. One thing has been determined, that is that the dry
areas of this country are better suited for jujubes.

Here in northern new Mexico I am seeing people with a jujube orchard of Li
&
Lang they have enough crop to bring them to the farmers market. They are
slightly south of Santa Fe in Zone 5. What I am not sure is how many
trees
that represents but several times they were there with a bushel or two of
jujube fruit and they go to several farmers markets.

I know at least one person in Los Alamos (7300ft 18 inches annual rain)
with
both Lee and Lang. They were fruiting and looked to have a lot more than
5-10
fruits.

I recall that Bill Vose had both Li and Lang for around 10 years in zone 4
in
Illinois The tree did fine, but no fruit. He said he had heard from other
folks in Zone 6 midwest who had the same experience.
