๐Ÿ™‚ Why is Jujube Tree called the Tree of Happiness?
  • ๐Ÿ˜‡ The Jujube Tree (Ziziphus jujuba) is often called the "Tree of Happiness" and is one of the #Nature_wonders.
  • ๐Ÿ˜‡ Nutritious Fruit: The Jujube tree (Ziziphus jujuba) produces small, sweet, and slightly tangy fruits that are enjoyed by both children and adults.
  • ๐Ÿ˜‡ Hardy and Easy: This small, spreading tree with drooping branches grows quickly and thrives in poor, dry, and even moderately saline soils. It requires minimal care to flourish.
  • ๐Ÿ˜‡ Medicinal Uses: Every part of the Jujube tree, from its leaves to its bark and fruit, has medicinal properties. The fruit is known for its stress-relieving and immunity-boosting benefits.
  • ๐Ÿ˜‡ Thousands of Years in cultivation: Widely cultivated in China and India, jujubes have been grown for over 4,000 years. China has more jujube trees than any other type of fruit tree.
  • ๐Ÿ˜‡ Symbolism:

    • - The name Ziziphus comes from the Persian zizfum or Arabic zizouf.
    - The tree is associated with Ziziphus spina-christi, the Christ's Thorn Jujube, which provided the thorns for the biblical crown of thorns.
    - In Indian legends, the Jujube tree is said to be blessed with a boon: no matter how badly it is cut, it will never die, and a single root will cause it to regrow.
    - Revered in India, the Jujube is known as the "Tree which removes sorrow" and is often offered to the god Siva.
  • ๐Ÿ˜‡ Greek Mythology: Some horticulturists draw a comparison between the Jujube tree and the Greek myth of Sisyphus. Like Sisyphus' boulder that endlessly rolls back down, the Jujube tree regrows tirelessly, symbolizing resilience, perseverance, and renewal.

With a bit of luck, by next year, weโ€™ll be able to graft more of these beauties from our own tree and share this extraordinary variety with our customers and friends. Stay tuned!

๐Ÿ‘ What is the most rewarding hardy fruit tree suitable for hot climate

๐Ÿ’ฌ Can I grow peaches and plums in Florida?

โœ… Yes, you can grow peaches, nectarines, apricots and plums in Florida, provided you choose low-chill varieties.
  • ๐Ÿ‘ These have been developed specifically for subtropical regions like Central and South Florida, where traditional temperate varieties struggle due to insufficient chill hours.
  • ๐Ÿ‘ Low-chill varieties require as little as 150โ€“300 chill hours (temperatures below 45ยฐF) and thrive in hot climates, making them perfect for Florida' warm winters and hot summers.
  • ๐Ÿ‘ These heat-tolerant fruit trees also perform well in other challenging climates, like Arizona.
  • ๐Ÿ‘ While apricots generally need more chill hours than Florida's climate can provide, hybridization efforts have made peaches, nectarines, and plums reliable options for gardeners in these areas.

When Bamboo blooms with orchid flowers

Bamboo Orchid (Arundina graminifolia), Bird Ground Orchid

๐Ÿ”ค When Bamboo blooms with orchid flowers ๐Ÿ‘€
