Discover the remarkable Ziziphus jujuba var. spinosa, commonly known as Asian Date, Sour Jujube, or Wild Jujube, a distinctive variety that sets itself apart from the more commonly known Chinese date. This deciduous tree or large shrub features a unique rounded or vase-shaped structure, with thorny, drooping branches. Its leaves are notable for the two sharp spines at their base, unlike its counterpart. In late spring to early summer, Sour Jujube showcases delicate white to yellowish-green flowers, contrasting with the spring-blooming flowers of the Chinese date. The fruit, small and round or elliptical, matures to a rich reddish-brown, a visual and taste delight from the arid northern regions of China, where this plant predominantly thrives. Beyond its ornamental appeal, Ziziphus jujuba var. spinosa holds a revered place in Chinese medicine, traditionally utilized to combat anemia, pharyngitis, insomnia, and nervous exhaustion. Enhance your garden and health with this versatile, medicinal wonder.
