Teapot Jujube
The fruit weighs 4-8 grams and has a peculiar shape. On the upper-middle part of the fruit, 1-2 pairs of short, columnar, fleshy protrusions often grow, standing 5-7 mm above the fruit surface and about 5 mm thick, resembling a teapot spout and handle, which is how it got its name. The fruit surface is smooth, turning purple when ripe with a bright luster, and the fresh-eating quality is medium. It ripens in mid-September. The tree is medium-sized with a peculiar posture, and the outer branches droop. The canopy is naturally semi-rounded; a 20-year-old large tree is 5-6 m tall with a crown diameter of 6-7 m. Grafted seedlings bear fruit in the second year after planting, with good productivity.
