I'm in zone 5 (northern Utah/Idaho border, 4,900' elevation, 18" annual
precip) and grow Li and Lang, now nearly 10 yrs old. They are planted on a
south-facing slope, slightly warmer microclimate, very hot/dry summer
location, high winter wind area. I get good crops and have not experienced
winter injury. I watered them first 2 yrs to get them established, but they
have no supplemental irrigation at this point, though are in a bed with deep
mulch (permaculture system) and companion plantings w/sea buckthorn
(N-fixer). Lang is 8' tall, Li stopped at 4'.

I’m in zone 6 and I’ve been growing jujube for years. I don’t think they’ll
do good in colder zones, specially areas with short seasons.

Yes, short seasons are the issue.

I am in zone 7 and had a short list of varieties that would bear early
enough in the season. I grow So, Sherwood and Shanxi Li.

They bloom late, so late frosts are not an issue.

Well that is encouraging. I am in Payette Idaho, Zone 6 Oregon border. Not
that much wind. But my front flower bed has extra heat reflected down on it
from the wall of the house that faces west. As a result I have a faithfully
bearing apricot tree. And raspberries, and currants.
