Jujube Plant Coco (Ziziphus jujuba)

Jujube Coco is a hardy fruiting plant with contorted branches, fine lacy foliage and small fragrant white flowers that bloom in mid-summer. The fruit ripens in October with an abundant crop of golden-brown fruit that has a coconut-like flavor. Plants are partially self-fertile. It will set fruit if planted alone, but planting two different varieties ensures heavier crops. Jujube fruit is rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants and it may be eaten fresh or dried as a healthy snack.
