What does the Dragon Jujube look like? A detailed explanation of its morphological characteristics
The Dragon Jujube fruit is small and flat-cylindrical, with an average fruit weight of 3.1 grams and a maximum fruit weight of 5 grams. The size is relatively uniform, the fruit surface is uneven, the peel is thick, and the color is reddish-brown. The flesh is greenish-white, relatively coarse and firm in texture, with little juice and a faint sweetness; its quality as a fresh-eating fruit is poor, while its quality as a dried jujube is medium. It ripens in late September. The tree is small, with an open growth habit and a naturally rounded crown. The secondary branches develop poorly; the tree grows weakly, bears fruit early, has moderate but unstable fruiting capacity, and yields relatively low; it is highly adaptable, and the fruit does not crack or drop during the ripening period.
