Does anyone know if you can grow jujube from cuttings, as we all do with figs? I am interested in this plant and was curious. Thanks.

I don't think jujube are normally propagated from cuttings (not necessarily that it can't be done). At any rate, they are typically grafted onto root stock. You might consider purchasing at least one grafted tree. Once established, it will put out lots of suckers. These can be dug up to start new root stock. You can then either graft on fruit wood from the original tree, or buy/trade/steal some scion from other varieties. I have about a dozen trees that I got from Roger Meyer (who happens to have his growing grounds near me). He sells online: http://www.jujubesales.com/Jujube-plants.php If you don't know who Roger Meyer is and you are interested in jujubes, you should check out his site.

I tried some side-by-side with my figs, zero results, not glimmer of development. Best to buy one, dig the suckers, most prolific plant I've ever seen for suckers. Around here a 12" rooted sucker goes for $10. I have no interest in them if they are hard to grow, if I want the challenge, I would go back to orchids, too old for all of that.

There are no plants suppliers north of the border. I wonder if they can be grown from seeds?
