Subject: [NAFEX] Jujube seed

I have received 1 pound of purchased ZIZIPHUS
jujube (Common Name: Chinese Date Source:
India,) resonantly. These Jujube seed that I ordered from a
reputable seed company. BUT! these seed Is much larger 3 times as
much, with a shape that I am unfamiliar with, and many of the seed is larger
than most of the fruit I have eaten.
I Lived in Korea for 4 year and observed
many ZIZIPHUS jujube growing wild and in domesticated setting and I have
never seed seed this large. I know there is 3 species of ZIZIPHUS.
One native to India and Africa (Ziziphus
Spinoza) both tropical. Has any one got and reference on
these seed so that I may know more about this type. Can these seed be
used an root stock? Will these seed be graft compatible with ZIZIPHUS
jujube? Is there a more common root stock that I have been
missing.
