Jinling Round Jujube and Jinling Long Jujube are collectively known as "Chaoyang Jinling Jujube" and are currently the most cold-tolerant new large-fruited fresh jujube varieties in China. Through nearly ten years of breeding research, it successively passed appraisal and approval by the Liaoning Provincial Department of Science and Technology and the Liaoning Provincial Committee for the Examination and Approval of Improved Forest Tree Varieties on September 19 and September 24, 2002. The CPC Liaoning Provincial Committee and the Liaoning Provincial Government have already published a book on it, and the Liaoning Provincial Forestry Department has issued a document to promote it throughout the province.
