Book Description
As environmental awareness, water conservation, inhospitable farmland utilization, organic/pesticide-free farming, and antioxidant consumption get more relevant-- the more promising the Chinese Jujube! This publication does not just describe more than 50 cultivars of the Chinese Jujube, or Ziziphus jujuba, but also depicts all of them in pictures as fruits in vivo and in situ. In the book are 280+ full-color photographs, plus smartphone-accessible links(depending on our weblog/online photo and video availability) to additional photos and video updates of our current trees, including yearly documentation of our topiary/sculptural trees-in-training and future cultivar acquisitions. The identification and selection of Chinese Jujube stems(unique to the species) are explained in detail with photo sequences of grafting and propagation via rootstock and seedlings. Also included is a never-before and admittedly radical 'take' on the mechanics behind successful grafting of fruit trees(in general), and not just pertaining to grafting of Chinese Jujubes. Being incredibly resilient, long-lived, and dependable a source of nutritionally-dense crops in times of drought and pestilence, this species is by its lonesome among deciduous fruit trees. The ultimate option for folks who diligently save for a rainy day-- or lack of rainy days. And contrary to its reputation of being 'survival food', many recently introduced cultivars now prove to be delectable, if not utterly addictive nutrition!
