I've read that jujubes will fruit within a few years when raised from seed, so I went to the Chinese market and purchased both fresh and dried fruit. I was wondering if someone here has raised jujubes this way and could give some advice/pointers on successfully germinating these seeds. I've read that the seeds from dried fruit are not viable, that the outer covering must first be cracked to release the 2 seeds inside, that the seeds must first be incubated for 2 months and then cold stratified for 3 months. Is any of this true in practice?
