That is interesting that the jujubes "Li" and "Lang" will fruit in you zone 
5 area (New Mexico) and not in zone 5 Chicago. It has been found that the 
daytime temperature during the bloom stage must be 72 degrees F or higher 
(per the Chinese at Hebei University). Is it possible that the temperatures 
are higher in you area during the bloom stage than in Chicago? It does not 
make any difference if  they have more heat later if they do not set.
