I have family living in trinidad in the caribean.. they have a jujube cousin 
tree.. that's the indian jujube... in trinidad it's called "Doung"
the fruit is round and larger than the regular jujube... The taste is 
similiar.. and it's sweeter...
I wonder if crossing the two varieties been attempted.

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.
