Contorted Jujube – Twisted Grafted Tree Grafted Live Fruit Tree | 4 Feet Tall | Includes 3 Gallon Pot Unique Twisted Branches | Edible Reddish-Brown Fruit | Hardy & Drought Resistant

Add both ornamental beauty and edible fruit to your landscape with this 4-foot tall grafted Contorted Jujube tree, shipped in a 3-gallon nursery pot with a thicker, established trunk. This unique variety features striking twisted and contorted branching, making it a standout focal point even in winter.

The round fruits are similar to ‘Li’ jujube, turning reddish-brown when ripe. They can be enjoyed firm and crunchy or dried at room temperature for a chewy, date-like sweetness. Harvest typically occurs in early fall.

This attractive, easy-to-grow tree is hardy, drought resistant, and virtually pest and disease free. It thrives in areas with long, hot summers and has a very low chilling requirement. Partly self-fruitful, it can produce on its own but benefits from pollination by ‘Lang’ for heavier crops.
