The Chico Jujube (Ziziphus jujuba) is a small, apple-shaped fruit with a crisp, light texture and a sweet-tart flavor. It ripens to a reddish-brown color and is perfect for both fresh eating and drying. While semi-self-pollinating, it benefits from being paired with another variety like ‘Li’ to ensure a better fruit set. This hardy, productive cultivar is well-suited for home gardens and orchards, offering a delicious and versatile addition to various dishes.
