Jujube ‘Suiman’, also known as Chinese Date or Red Date, is a hardy fruit tree prized for its large, sweet and crisp fruit. The oval-shaped fruit ripens from green to golden-brown, with a texture similar to an apple when fresh and a rich flavour when dried. It grows to around 4 to 6 metres tall and thrives in full sun with well-drained soil. Drought-tolerant and low maintenance, it’s ideal for warm temperate to subtropical climates. A great addition to home orchards for those seeking something unique, nutritious and easy to grow.
